Procedural Content Generation: Pseudorandom Number Generator

Pseudorandom Number Generator

A source of numbers that is apparently random, but is deterministic.

Specific algorithms include:

linear-congruential-generator - simple.
Blum Blum Shub - cryptographically sound, but slow.
Mersenne Twister - fast with good statistical properties, default in many libraries when cyptography is not an issue.
