A class for generating pseudo-random numbers.
</brief_description>
<description>
RandomNumberGenerator is a class for generating pseudo-random numbers. It currently uses PCG32. The underlying algorithm is an implementation detail. As a result, it should not be depended upon for reproducible random streams across Godot versions.

The seed used by the random number generator. A given seed will give a reproducible sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
[b]Note:[/b] The RNG does not have an avalanche effect, and can output similar random streams given similar seeds. Consider using a hash function to improve your seed quality if they're sourced externally.
