[03:04:33] <stew> MersenneTwister isn't implemented yet
[03:04:38] <stew> but I used like
[03:04:44] <stew> part of what makes MersenneTwister so good
[03:04:55] <stew> the excellent random distribution of bits
[03:05:07] <dhw> did you make your own rng or implement one?
[03:05:08] <stew> want a quick benchmark? :)
[03:05:12] <dhw> sure
[03:05:23] <stew>     void RandEngine::NextState()
[03:05:23] <stew>     {
[03:05:23] <stew>         m_currentState *= 1103515245;
[03:05:23] <stew>         m_currentState += 12345;
[03:05:23] <stew>     }
[03:05:29] <stew> That's the simple rand() style thing
[03:05:35] <stew> I'm not sure which compiler uses that
[03:05:55] <stew> but 39,063kb -> 10,602kb (ish)
[03:05:56] <dhw> hm
[03:06:04] <stew> about 27% size
[03:06:10] <stew> now, with the following:
[03:06:17] <stew>     void MersenneTwisterEngine::NextState()
[03:06:17] <stew>     {
[03:06:17] <stew>         m_currentState ^= m_currentState << 11;
[03:06:17] <stew>         m_currentState ^= m_currentState >> 7;
[03:06:17] <stew>         m_currentState ^= m_currentState >> 15;
[03:06:17] <stew>         m_currentState ^= m_currentState << 18;
[03:06:17] <stew>     }
[03:06:37] <stew> 39,063kb -> 39,063kb with winrar standard compression lol
[03:07:07] <stew> It couldn't pack it by a single byte ;p
[03:07:20] <stew> or if it could, the overhead of the lookup table evidently outweighed compressing lol
[03:07:45] <stew> Now to attempt higher compression :) sec
