Basics of Random Number Generation

Generating random numbers in a default manner is fairly easy, since a default RNG is provided.

The Default RNG

A public (and settable) property is provided that allows the RNG that is considered to be. It also has a default value, (details BELOW) This provides a convenient, succinct way to generate random numbers:

// Gets a random integer between 1 and 6, inclusive
int random1 = SingletonRandom.DefaultRNG.Next(1, 6);
// When only a max is specified, the minimum is implicitly 0.
// Thus, here we get a random number between 0 and 6, inclusive.
int random2 = SingletonRandom.DefaultRNG.Next(6);
