Seeded psuedo random number generators. This is exactly how we do it on
dw. Use the co-ordinate as the seed and then randomly generate a series of
numbers for the room. The numbers will be repeatably the same based on a
fixed seed. If you choose your psuedo random number generator will it
still looks pretty random too.
Randomly appearing in random places,
