Overview

This encapsulates the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), essentially turning it into a singleton class. This is done to avoid instantiating a new PRNG every time we need it, as that would make us dependent on the randomness of the operating system’s seed, instead of the random number generator code in Ruby.
