// seedrandom.js
// Author: David Bau 3/11/2010
//
// Defines a method Math.seedrandom() that, when called, substitutes
// an explicitly seeded RC4-based algorithm for Math.random(). Also
// supports automatic seeding from local or network sources of entropy.
//
// Usage:
//
//
//
// Math.seedrandom('yipee'); Sets Math.random to a function that is
// initialized using the given explicit seed.
//
// Math.seedrandom(); Sets Math.random to a function that is
// seeded using the current time, dom state,
// and other accumulated local entropy.
// The generated seed string is returned.
//
// Math.seedrandom('yowza', true);
// Seeds using the given explicit seed mixed
// together with accumulated entropy.
//
//
// Seeds using physical random bits downloaded
// from random.org.
//
// Examples:
//
// Math.seedrandom("hello"); // Use "hello" as the seed.
// document.write(Math.random()); // Always 0.5463663768140734
// document.write(Math.random()); // Always 0.43973793770592234
// var rng1 = Math.random; // Remember the current prng.
//
// var autoseed = Math.seedrandom(); // New prng with an automatic seed.
// document.write(Math.random()); // Pretty much unpredictable.
//
// Math.random = rng1; // Continue "hello" prng sequence.
// document.write(Math.random()); // Always 0.554769432473455
//
// Math.seedrandom(autoseed); // Restart at the previous seed.
// document.write(Math.random()); // Repeat the 'unpredictable' value.
//
// Notes:
//
// Each time seedrandom('arg') is called, entropy from the passed seed
// is accumulated in a pool to help generate future seeds for the
// zero-argument form of Math.seedrandom, so entropy can be injected over
// time by calling seedrandom with explicit data repeatedly.
//
// On speed - This javascript implementation of Math.random() is about
// 3-10x slower than the built-in Math.random() because it is not native
// code, but this is typically fast enough anyway. Seeding is more expensive,
// especially if you use auto-seeding. Some details (timings on Chrome 4):
//
// Our Math.random() - avg less than 0.002 milliseconds per call
// seedrandom('explicit') - avg less than 0.5 milliseconds per call
// seedrandom('explicit', true) - avg less than 2 milliseconds per call
// seedrandom() - avg about 38 milliseconds per call
