Randomness Visualizer

Visualize randomness through various graphical representations

Visualization Type

Parameters

Help

Random Bitmap

Displays random black and white pixels. True randomness should show no patterns - any visible structure suggests non-random behavior.

What to look for: Uniform "static" with no lines, clusters, or repeating patterns

Perlin-like Noise

Creates smooth, natural-looking noise by interpolating between random values. Unlike pure randomness, this creates coherent patterns.

Use case: Terrain generation, textures, procedural content

RGB Pixel Noise

Each pixel's red, green, and blue channels are randomly determined, creating colorful static.

What to look for: Even distribution of colors with no banding or patterns

Spiral Pattern

Plots random values along a spiral path, making it easier to spot patterns or periodicities in the sequence.

What to look for: Smooth color transitions without sudden changes or repeating segments

3D Scatter Cloud

Plots triplets of random numbers in 3D space. Good RNGs should fill the cube uniformly.

What to look for: Even distribution with no planes, lines, or clusters

Entropy Analysis

Shannon entropy measures the randomness/information content. Higher entropy (closer to maximum) indicates better randomness.

  • High entropy: Data is unpredictable and random
  • Low entropy: Data has patterns and is predictable
  • Maximum entropy: All values equally likely (perfect randomness)
Animation Mode

Continuously regenerates the visualization to help spot patterns that might emerge over time. Poor RNGs may show repeating cycles or drift.
