This project is Unlicensed. In other words, I don't care what you do with it. However, if you make something interesting, I would like to check it out.
Shuffle and unshuffle an array by seed/key.
var SeededShuffle = require('seededshuffle');
var array = SeededShuffle.shuffle(<array>,<seed>[,copy]); // Returns an array or null.
var array = SeededShuffle.unshuffle(<array>,<seed>[,copy]); // Returns an array or null.
Array - The array to shuffle.
Seed - The key to shuffle your array.
Copy* - Make a copy of the array instead of overwriting it.
* Optional.
SeededShuffle.seed - The seed number used to shuffle your key.
If you use a string as a seed it is converted to a number.
SeededShuffle.strSeed - The string used for the seed (if any).
Examples:
var ss = require('seededshuffle');
var arrays = [
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10],
["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"],
];
var keys = [
"Example key 1.",
Date.now(),
Math.PI,
"Example key 4.",
false,
];
for (var num in arrays) {
console.log("\n--- Array "+arrays[num]+" ---");
for (var key in keys) {
var shuff = ss.shuffle(arrays[num],keys[key],true),
ushuff = ss.unshuffle(shuff,keys[key],true);
console.log(" --- Key "+keys[key]+" ---");
console.log("Shuffled: "+(shuff?shuff:"returned was empty!"));
console.log("Unshuffled: "+(ushuff?ushuff:"returned was empty!"));
console.log();
};
