+# FibonacciRng
+
+This gem implements a random number generator inspired by the famous Fibonacci
+number sequence. This is meant to serve as an example of a lesser or poorly
+implemented random number generator. Until now, the linear congruential and
+middle squares generators have been picked on as poor, so I felt that a new
+contender was required. Proving that this is indeed a poor RNG is left as an
+exercise for the reader!
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'fibonacci_rng'
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install fibonacci_rng
+
+## Usage
+
+    require 'fibonacci_rng'
+
+Then in an appropriate place in the code:
+
+    @my_rng = FibonacciRng.new(depth, seed_value)
+
+Where depth is an optional integer value between 3 and are you kidding and
+the seed value is a number or string or other object that has a repeatable
+value. To get some data out here are some options:
+
+    @my_rng.dice(100)     # A "random" integer between 0 and 99
+    @my_rng.byte          # A "random" integer between 0 and 255
+    @my_rng.word          # A "random" integer between 0 and 65535
+    @my_rng.float         # A "random" float between 0 and less than 1.
+
+and also available
+
+    @my_rng.reseed(value) # Reseed the sequence with the new value.
+    @my_rng.reseed        # Reseed the sequence with a "random" seed.
+    @my_rng.spin(count)   # Spin the generator count times.
+    @my_rng.spin          # Spin the generator once.
+
+If more than one stream of numbers is required, it is best to use multiple
+instances of FibonacciRng objects rather than rely on one.
