Abstract

The current invention discloses methods and devices that provide controlled randomization of the progression of an application program on one or more terminals connected to a server. The server may feed a seed random number to the terminals and the seed random number may be used by a platform-independent random number generator to produce random numbers. The random numbers may be fed to platform-dependent random processing commands to generate display contents, which may be displayed by the terminals. With such implementations, the same program running at different times may have different processes and show different display contents. The current invention reduces predictability and improves randomness and excitability of the program.
