<code class="sig">Random.seed(value)</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Sets the starting state of the random-number generator. Every subsequent call to <code>Random.range</code> and <code>Random.chance</code> then follows a fixed, repeatable sequence for that seed, so seeding with the same <code>value</code> makes two runs produce identical randomness — invaluable for tests, replays, and debugging. Seed once, typically in a <code>Start</code>-phase handler before you draw any random numbers. Use different seed values (for example a frame count or a level number) when you want variety between runs.</p></div>
