The criteria for calling a RNG "cryptographically secure" are incompatible with the game design goals here.

The game needs a RNG that's stable when seeded, for reproducible runs. I look for the same kind of qualities when doing generative art.

In comparison, a CSPRNG should be safe from oracle attacks, which is essentially the opposite goal.
