[SOLVED] Seeding JS Math.random()

Is there a simple way to seed the JS Math.random() so that it will return the same number each time just like Python’s random.seed() works?

no such option with the Math.random() function but try looking here for alternative https://stackoverflow.com/questions/424292/seedable-javascript-random-number-generator

Nathan Lewis exactly like here: https://github.com/davidbau/seedrandom/blob/released/README.md I've included it from cdnjs, initialized the generator with passing to Math.seedrandom an array of numbers and then using Math.random to get my numbers.
