Added Delphi compatible random to the wiki
« on: March 26, 2017, 03:26:55 pm »
For those who need it:
I added a Delphi compatible and cross-platform random number unit to the wiki.
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Delphi_compatible_LCG_Random#Delphi_compatible_random_numbers.

Written from scratch from info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

This may come in handy if you have code or data that relies on Delphi's Prng implementation.

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

On request, I changed the naming conventions from DelphiRandom to LCGRandom.

Also added demo as proof that output is the same as Delphi.
