Re: PRNG - currently available solutions aren't addressing many use cases

If you port the example code from the Wikipedia Mersenne Twister page (and add a float interface), you end up with around 80 lines of code. See here: http://pastebin.com/KiKUcBpH It works extremely well and is quite fast (I've not noticed any performance difference with Math.random, which on V8

PRNG - currently available solutions aren't addressing many use cases

As we all know, JavaScript as language lacks builtin randomness related utilities. All we have is Math.random() and environment provided RNG - window.crypto in browser and crypto module in NodeJS. Sadly, these APIs have serious disadvantages for many applications: Math.random - implementation

node crypto is asynchronous or sync and it returns a buffer of binary data uint8's are just the default way of that node buffers represent data On Tue, Dec 1, 2015, 2:20 PM Michał Wadas wrote: > As we all know, JavaScript as language lacks builtin randomness related >
