super_random

DESCRIPTION:

You can’t get more random than random, but you can try really, really, really hard.

SuperRandom combines RealRand’s three online real random services to create a more perfect random byte.

SYNOPSIS:

require 'super_random' #=> true
super_random = SuperRandom.new # => #<SuperRandom:...

# bytes returns 32 bytes by default (256 bits).
super_random.bytes # => [123, 219, 128, ...,  248, 164, 100]

# hexadecimal returns a 32 bytes hexadecimal by default.
super_random.hexadecimal #=> "2ae...37b"

# rand as the typical use
super_random.rand #=> 0.16882225652425537
super_random.rand(100) #=> 85

# The "randomness" attribute gives the number of online services used.
# It's possible for a service to fail.
# Ultimately, SuperRandom uses SecureRandom as a failsafe.
super_random.randomness #=> 3

INSTALL:

$ sudo gem install super_random
