TetrisGYM SPS Vulnerability Research

First off the tl;dr for those in a hurry.

My SPS source code has been available since July 2022. It's not the only implementation.

The attached seeds are a list of seeds that fall into the same sequence before piece 100. This is caused by @invalidIndex. There are 276 seeds. Because of how the LFSR in generateNextPseudorandomNumber works, it's not just 276 seeds that do that, it's ~2x that. This is true of just about everything I've checked so instead of 4 million unique seeds, we have about 20k-80k sequences that a player can expect to get (research not complete). And because of how it locks, it continues indefinitely. This is probably beyond the capacity of a person to memorize, but we could see players memorize a small fraction of favorable and unfavorable sequences for a benefit in competition. Let's start the work of writing an improved SPS shall we?
