Cybex,
There is strong & vocal movement in physics which claims nothing is random (or probalistic) & everything is deterministic. What we interpret as 'random' is in reality higher-dimensional-non-linear fractal processes that look random from our limited 3-D view point. If this is true what exactly is the distinction between 'pseudo-random' and 'random'? Our attempts at creating random number generators can be seen as attempts to mimick what nature does.
Richard,
You are being too technical. I not sure kixtart could be used to create a high quality generator that was also efficient (especially if it has to follow kixgolf rules). I think your solution is as good as it gets within the given constraints. Yes it might exhibit structure in time or fail to produce a perfectly flat distribution & it is not easily repeatable but so what. My bet is the Rnd function would fail some of the standard tests as well.
