<code class="sig">Hash.mix(x) -&gt; int</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Scrambles a single integer so its bits are thoroughly mixed — the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MurmurHash">MurmurHash3</a> <code>fmix32</code> finalizer (shift/multiply/shift). Nearby inputs like <code>0</code>, <code>1</code>, <code>2</code> map to values that look unrelated, which is exactly what you want when turning a counter, entity id, or frame number into a random-looking seed. It is deterministic and self-inverse-free: the same input always gives the same output. <code>Hash.mix(0)</code> is <code>0</code>. For folding several numbers together use <a href="hash-combine"><code>Hash.combine</code></a>.</p></div>
