My first solution was RNG(hash(seed.toString() + string)), which would get rid of the correlation while still being deterministic based on the seed.
It's also more robust than calling RNG 10 times since if you use the same algorithm to seed as for the RNG proper then you will get the same sequences in each instance, just offset.
Fun game overall, took a little over 2 hours to beat. Some notes:
- I found the decade theming of the packs a nice touch.
- I'm mildly curious as to the maximum difficulty of the math problems.
- I did find the combat a little frustrating as the levels increased, I found that I had to basically ignore the block button if it was on cooldown at level 10 because the time between attacks is shorter than the cooldown, and I was definitely reaching the limit of my reaction times there.
- I recognised most of the movie quotes but some did elude me.
On the topic of incremental game gacha parodies, I couldn't help but think of the recent game One Trillion Free Draws (https://duducat.moe/gacha/), the premise of which is that you need to use your draws to get upgrades to use up your 1 trillion free draws faster. I've come across a few others in my time but I don't quite recall the others.
The 500 edits required for access to TWL is actually for all of the sites under the Wikimedia banner. If you're having trouble finding things to edit on Wikipedia, you can try their other sites such as Wikisource or Wikibooks.
On Wikisource in particular, it's fairly easy to make useful edits through validating proofread pages or proofreading simple pages (both of which can be easily found in the Monthly Challenge).
