Functions: chance (fraction-chance ...) Returns T if the chance was met, NIL if not. weighted (weights &key (default nil) ...) Takes a list in this format: ((value-one . 0.25) (value-two . 0.50) (value-three . 0.25)) And calculates the result as chances. The values of the alist should total 1, if they are less than one and the chance is not met, return `default`. shuffle! (sequence ...) Shuffle a sequence in place. Returns the sequence. within (sequence ...) Returns a random element in this sequence. within-set (sequence value) Set a random element in `sequence` to `value`. Can be used like: (setf (within seq) value) range (start end &key (integral nil) ...) Returns a random number in the inclusive range of `start` to `end`. If `integral` is not NIL, round to an integer. All the above functions (except within-set() can take the key parameter `provider`, which defaults to cl-rng:*default-randomness-provider*. Parameters: *default-precision* The default precision of the default randomness provider. Defaults to 1. *default-randomness-provider* The default `provider` for the above functions. Should be a function with a lambda list that resembles those of `urandom` and `crandom` functions. Defaults to cl-rng:crandom Module `urandom`: urandom (&key (limit 1.0) (precision 1) (transform nil)) Get a random value from /dev/urandom, between 0 and 1 inclusive `precision` times. Multiply its average by `limit`, and transform it by `transform` (if `transform` is not NIL) and return. urandom-range (range &key (limit 1.0) (precision 1) (transform nil)) Apply `urandom` function to a sequence in place. urandom-bytes (len &key (transform #'identity) (type :vector)) Get `len` bytes from /dev/urandom and return them as a vector if type is :VECTOR, otherwise a list. Apply `transform` to each element. Module `crandom` (requires FFI): crandom (&key (limit 1.0) (precision 1) (transform #'identity)) Get a cryptographically secure random floating point number (64 bit) between 0 and 1 from FFI `precision` times, multiply its average by `limit`, apply `transform` to it and return. If FFI fails, return NIL. crandom-range (range &key (limit 1.0) (precision 1) (transform #'identity)) Apply `crandom` to a sequence in place. crandom-bytes (len &key (transform #'identity) (type :vector)) Get `len` cryptographically secure bytes from FFI, apply `transform` to each, collect to vector if type is :VECTOR, list otherwise. If FFI fails, return NIL. ---- To use crandom, run sudo make install.
