So to improve in that range too one could use a faster random function like the one
from Marsaglia (included).
Note the gains differ per platform and are more explicit on the Arduino UNO platform
than on an ESP32.
Note the gains differ per platform and are more explicit on the (slow) Arduino UNO
platform than on a much faster ESP32.

## Interface
functions implemented are
#### generators (sort of)
- **uint32_t Marsaglia()** fast PRNG.
- **bool seedMarsaglia(uint32_t a, uint32_t b)** seed the Marsaglia PRNG. a and b should not be 0. returns true on success.
#### getters (sort of)
- **bool getRandom1()** returns 0 or 1, false or true.
- **bool flipCoin()** A wrapper around getRandom1().
- **uint8_t getRandom4()** returns 0 .. 15.
- **uint8_t getRandom5()** returns 0 .. 31.
- **uint8_t getRandom6()** returns 0 .. 63.
@ -47,11 +50,18 @@ functions implemented are
- **uint32_t getRandom32()** returns 0 .. 2^32 - 1 (4 bytes) this is the core random generator
- **uint64_t getRandom64()** returns 0.. 2^64 - 1 (8 bytes).
- **uint32_t getRandomBits(n)** returns 0.. 2^n - 1 This works well for 1..16 bits but above 16 it is slower than the standard way.
#### Typical wrappers.
- **bool flipCoin()** A wrapper around getRandom1().
- **uint8_t throwDice()** returns 1..6.
The examples show how to use these and how their performance gain relative to
calling **random()** for every random number.
## Performance

## Operation
@ -60,8 +70,20 @@ See examples
## Future
#### must
- improve/update documentation
- add performance figures
#### should
- wrap all up in a class.
- add JKISS? other RNG's
#### could
- improve performance getRandomBits(n) for n = 17..31
- investigate new tricks :)
- wrap all up in a class.
- test if the functions are uniform.
- rename getRandom64() ==> get64() etc.
- when it is part of a class.
- add **getRandom2(), getRandom3(), getRandom12()**?
