9 years ago OK, merged to master.
Still needed:
- Careful testing of the algorithms. (Did I correctly implement each algorithm?)
- Browser tests including the algorithms directly via
<script>tag. - Add documentation in the README.
Seedrandom is careful, but slow. It is about 9x slower than native Math.random(), which is acceptable if you don't need too much randomness. But if you need a lot of randomness, you want a seedable prng about the same speed as Math.random().
A possible solution is to offer alternate algorithms that get closer to native random such as: https://github.com/davidbau/seedrandom/tree/xorshift/xor
