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,
David.
