In Response To: RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION (Ray Kershaw)

The requirements for a RNG to suit the needs of BG is pretty low, as long as it survice some very basic tests. Even a simple and fast linear congruence algo is more than enough. If you choose the Mersenne-Twister you will have a quality rng that is fast and o.k. for everything but cryptographic grade rng.

If you're paranoid only real random is o.k. :))
