Special seed names?

Just a quick question, sometimes when I start a new game I notice that the name of the seed is an actual word. Names I've seen so far:

-KRUNCH
-NO
-die
-larry

Do these seeds have a special map structure or special attributes of some sort? Today for example I was playing on the "larry" seed and I let :106: catch me but I couldn't get out of its Dimension, no matter how long I've tried to go through the ways, it just kept on sending me back to the fake exit (the one where the areas behind the doors are completely dark and send you back into the Pocket Dimension). Was this just bad luck or does the larry seed have anything to do with this? Because I always manage to escape the Pocket Dimension in other files but in this seed it seemed to go on forever...

Here is the Menu.bb code file for the random seed names:

Code: Select all

	Local txt$
			Select i
				Case 0
					txt = "NEW GAME"
					RandomSeed = ""
					If temp Then 
						If Rand(15)=1 Then 
							Select Rand(10)
								Case 1 
									RandomSeed = "NIL"
								Case 2
									RandomSeed = "NO"
								Case 3
									RandomSeed = "d9341"
								Case 4
									RandomSeed = "5CP_I73"
								Case 5
									RandomSeed = "DONTBLINK"
								Case 6
									RandomSeed = "CRUNCH"
								Case 7
									RandomSeed = "die"
								Case 8
									RandomSeed = "HTAED"
								Case 9
									RandomSeed = "rustledjim"
								Case 10
									RandomSeed = "larry"
							End Select
						Else
							n = Rand(4,8)
							For i = 1 To n
								If Rand(3)=1 Then
									RandomSeed = RandomSeed + Rand(0,9)
								Else
									RandomSeed = RandomSeed + Chr(Rand(97,122))
								EndIf
							Next							
						EndIf
Well i don't know about coding stuff but it seems that it has nothing to do with the gameplay. It is just a random name for the seed.
But still scary :D

The pre-made seeds are just there for fan-service, they function the exact same as regular seeds.

Okay then I hust had really bad luck :D I actually was thinking that larry changes the behaviour of the Pocket Dimension, that would have been kinda annoying
