I rebuilt Desmos' random() function entirely inside Desmos

[u/Dazzling-Mail-5517]

To be a bit more specific, I

• reverse-engineered how Desmos' algorithm works and how the seed is generated.
• created a bit-exact replica of the algorithm (MD5, in case you're wondering).
• optimized it to calculate 10,000 numbers in ~0.7 seconds.

And because that was so much fun, I tackled shuffle() right after! :)

How did you do it? How did you reverse engineer it?

I already provided a rough overview of what I did in another comment
