<h3 id="make-pcg-function"><code>MAKE-PCG</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(MAKE-PCG &amp;KEY (SEED NIL) (STREAM-ID 0))
</pre></div>


<p>Create and return a new PCG.</p>
<p>If <code>seed</code> is <code>nil</code>, a fresh random seed will be generated with the
  implementation's <code>cl:random</code> function, as if by:</p>

<h3 id="make-pcg-function_1"><code>MAKE-PCG%</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(MAKE-PCG% SEED STREAM-ID)
</pre></div>


<p>Create and return a new <code>pcg</code> for the given <code>seed</code> and <code>stream-id</code>.</p>
<p>This is a low-level function that assumes you are passing in the correct types.</p>
<h3 id="pcg-struct"><code>PCG</code> (struct)</h3>

<h3 id="pcg-advance-function"><code>PCG-ADVANCE</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(PCG-ADVANCE PCG STEPS)
</pre></div>


<p>Advance the state of <code>pcg</code> by <code>steps</code> steps.</p>
<p>This function returns <code>nil</code> and is only useful for its side effects.</p>
<h3 id="pcg-advance-function_1"><code>PCG-ADVANCE%</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(PCG-ADVANCE% PCG STEPS)

<p>Generate and return a random number in the specified interval.</p>
<p>If <code>max</code> is omitted the interval will be <code>[0, bound)</code>.</p>
<p>If <code>max</code> is given the interval will be <code>[bound, max)</code>.</p>
<p>If <code>inclusive?</code> is given the interval will be <code>[bound, max]</code>.</p>
<p>If either of <code>bound</code> or <code>max</code> are floats, the result will be a float.
  Otherwise the result will be an integer.</p>
<p>As a side effect, the state of <code>pcg</code> will be advanced.</p>
<h3 id="pcg-random-function_1"><code>PCG-RANDOM%</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(PCG-RANDOM% PCG)
</pre></div>


<p>Return a random <code>(unsigned-byte 32)</code>.</p>
<p>As a side effect, the state of <code>pcg</code> will be advanced.</p>
<p>This is a low-level function that assumes you are passing in the correct types.</p>

<p>As a side effect, the state of <code>pcg</code> will be advanced.</p>
<p>This is a low-level function that assumes you are passing in the correct types.</p>
<h3 id="pcg-rewind-function"><code>PCG-REWIND</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(PCG-REWIND PCG STEPS)
</pre></div>


<p>Rewind the state of <code>pcg</code> by <code>steps</code> steps.</p>
<p>This function returns <code>nil</code> and is only useful for its side effects.</p>
<h3 id="pcg-rewind-function_1"><code>PCG-REWIND%</code> (function)</h3>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>(PCG-REWIND% PCG STEPS)
