Lehmer Random Number Generator

This project was created with the intention of building an alternative to System.Random for games, procedural generation etc. As the name suggests, it uses a Lehmer random number generator.
It uses .NET Standard.

Lehmer.Random is a pseudo-random number generator and is not cryptographically secure.

The algorithm used in Lehmer.Random is Javidx9's implementation of the Lehmer random number generator converted from C++ to C#. Javidx9 has an excellent video explaining some of the shortcomings of other RNGs for use in procedural generation, and also demonstrates the use of the Lehmer RNG to generate a universe.

Lehmer.Random is intended to be easy to use and mirrors the functionality of System.Random.
Some additional method signatures have been added to improve the usability of the RNG. For example, NextDouble() has two additional signatures that allow a range to be passed.

Public Member Functions

This list contains all of the non-static methods of Lehmer.Random:

• Random ()
  Initializes a new instance of the Random class, using a time-dependent default seed value.

• Random (int seed)
  Initializes a new instance of the Random class, using the specified seed value.

• Random (uint seed)
  Initializes a new instance of the Random class, using the specified seed value.

• int Next ()
  Returns a non-negative random integer.

• int Next (int maxValue)
  Returns a non-negative random integer that is less than the specified maximum.

• int Next (int minValue, int maxValue)
  Returns a random integer that is within a specified range.

• double NextDouble ()
  Returns a random floating-point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0.

• double NextDouble (double maxValue)
  Returns a non-negative random floating-point number that is less than the specified maximum.

• double NextDouble (double minValue, double maxValue)
  Returns a random floating-point number that is within a specified range.
  
• void NextBytes (byte[] buffer)
  Fills the elements of a specified array of bytes with random numbers.

Static Public Member Functions

Lehmer.Random also contains several static methods that can be used without instantiating the class. These can be used to generate "one-off" random numbers that are independent of the number generated previously.

• static int RndInt (uint seed, int minValue, int maxValue)
  Returns a random integer that is within a specified range, using the specified seed value.

• static int RndInt (int minValue, int maxValue)
  Returns a random integer that is within a specified range, using a time-dependent default seed value.

• static double RndDouble (uint seed, double minValue, double maxValue)
  Returns a random double that is within a specified range, using the specified seed value.

• static double RndDouble (double minValue, double maxValue)
  Returns a random double that is within a specified range, using a time-dependent default seed value.
