{{newin|[[0.9.1]]|091|type=function}}
Gets the current state of the random number generator. This returns an opaque implementation-dependent string which is only useful for later use with [[love.math.setRandomState]] or [[RandomGenerator:setState]].

This is different from [[love.math.getRandomSeed]] in that getRandomState gets the random number generator's current state, whereas getRandomSeed gets the previously set seed number.
