Randomizer, a Javascript class to abstract details of several different random number generators. Provides a means to test several generators against each other as well as let you ignore implementation details of the particular RNGs and just use them. To use, include lib/Randomizer.js and you also need to include at least one of the files in lib/rng/ to use a different RNG from the javascript default. Randomizer takes two possible options in an object: 'rng' which is a string or appropriate object, and 'seed' which is the seed to begin randomizing with. Both are optional. RNG Options ------------------------- MersenneTwister MultiplyWithCarry CombinedMultipleRecursive USAGE ------------------------- // defaults to Math.random(), but why would we want that? var rand = new Randomizer(); rand.random(); rand.randomInteger(5, 25); // from 5 to 25 inclusive // we can use a Mersenne Twister var rand = new Randomizer({ rng : 'MersenneTwister'}); // we can provide a seed as well var rand = new Randomizer({ rng : 'MultiplyWithCarry', seed : 2349837}); // we can also set the seed after the fact var rand = new Randomizer({ rng : 'CombinedMultipleRecursive'}); rand.setSeed(23423433); LICENSE ------------------------- 2 clause BSD - RNG implementations retain their original licenses, where applicable Copyright (c) 2011, Brian Ramsay All rights reserved.
