Don't use seed 1

This is a good point Nack.

If he export is not showing a seed it means it's using seed 1.

To answer Neil's Question, no, seed 0 is not a random seed and actually cannot be selected.

What is random in the dice seed in XG is that the seed is determined from a hash of the position and the user set seed. So 2 different positions will generate a difference sequence of dice with same seed (for checker play RO it uses the initial position so that all moves use the same dice sequence).

Adding a random seed is pretty easy. I'll see about that.
