How can I know that the numbers the computer generates are truly random?

• Computers never creates true randomness, this is a fact. Some people might say that the computer follows the instructions given by the programmer, this is true aswell.

In order to please the players with as much randomness as possible, the number generator is integrated within a timer.
This means that the computer generates a random number within a given sequence each time this timer ticks. For our sake, in this particular program. The computer generates a new number each 1/1000 of a second.

I would go out on a limb here and say that it's rather impossible to predict an exact sequence of numbers that's going to be generated.

It's time to put this to the test. Bring your "A-game" and see if you have what it takes to beat the computer.
