About

Pseudo-random number generators w/ unified API, distributions, weighted choices, ID generation.

This package provides the IRandom interface and various (mostly seedable) pseudo-random number generator implementations, incl. IRandom wrappers for Math.random() and window.crypto:

Partially ported from C implementations taken from c.thi.ng.
