Overview 📖

Random (VRD) is a Rust library for generating high-quality random numbers
based on the Mersenne Twister algorithm.

The Random struct in this library provides a robust interface for generating
a variety of random numbers using the Mersenne Twister algorithm. Additionally,
the MersenneTwisterConfig struct allows for advanced configuration of the
algorithm.

The Random (VRD) is used to generate random numbers using the Mersenne Twister
algorithm. It generates pseudorandom integers uniformly distributed in
0..(2^32 - 1) starting from any odd seed in 0..(2^32 - 1).

The index is incremented after each random number is generated. When the index
reaches 624, the array is reinitialized and the index is reset to 0.

Features ✨

• Create new random number generator and seed it with a value
• Designed for speed and efficiency
• Generate random 32-bit unsigned integers within a given range
• Provide random numbers of different types, including booleans, bytes, chars,
  doubles, floats, integers, and unsigned integers
• Mutate the state of the random number generator
• Produce pseudo-random number sequences that are different from each other
• Regulate the randomness of the generated numbers, including the seed value
  and the number of bits used
• Select a random element from a slice of values
• Generate random numbers from various probability distributions, including
  uniform, normal, exponential, and Poisson
