`cl-pcg` is a [permuted congruential generator][pcg] implementation in pure
Common Lisp.

Permuted congruential generators are seedable, small, fast,
fairly-hard-to-predict random number generators.  They can be useful for things
like games.  They can also be advanced and rewound efficiently.

PCGs are **not** cryptographically secure.  If you need that, look elsewhere.

`cl-pcg` can be installed with [Quicklisp][]: `(ql:quickload :cl-pcg)`
