Detailed Description

Implements a lightweight RNG based on XOR-shift operations.

We utilize the XORSHIFT algorithm from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift. This is a very lightweight and inexpensive RNG.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

XORShiftRNG::XORShiftRNG ( unsigned int seed )

Create a new Xorshift RNG with a specified seed.

Parameters

[in] seed The seed for this RNG

References seed().

XORShiftRNG::XORShiftRNG ( )

Creates a new Xorshift using a random seed which is obtained from the system clock.

Note this will give different results on different platforms and between runs.
