Nothing. You only need to call this function if you want to reuse a previous seed, in order to reproduce the exact same sequence of random numbers.

But this is explained in the tutorial (did you actually read it?).

Hi,

Was alittle confused about this.

In my previous games,
I had to set the random number generator seed
each time the game was ran.

But if you say that this is not necessary
then I guess I do not have to with SFML...
