PCG Random Number Generation, Minimal Go Edition

This code is a rewrite in Go of the C implementation found here https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c-basic

This code provides a minimal implementation of one member of the PCG family of random number generators, which are fast, statistically excellent, and offer a number of useful features.

Full details can be found at the PCG-Random website. This version of the code provides a single family member and skips some useful features (such as jump-ahead/jump-back)
