RaceNG

Revolutionary, innovative, groundbreaking random number generator using race conditions written in Rust. I wrote this in like an hour because I thought it would be funny (it was). I should not need to tell you this is not a reliable source of RNG you should depend on. If you do end up using it for smthn, please DM me on discord, I want to know.

I even published to crates.io, which was suprisingly easy

How 2 use

  1. cargo add RaceNG
  2. let result = RaceNG::race(x, y)
  3. PROFIT

Sample output:

Explanation 4 nerds

A race condition occurs when 2 or more threads are trying to use the same variable.

Both threads try to set the variable to a certain value, but due to computer jank, they go about it at different speeds. This means that the value of the shared variable is undefined at a given time. If you print the variable it is basically random.
