8-bit acorn software: other • Re: PRNG's

I use 256 length loops for my games, but would probably eor with user via T1 in free running mode if I wanted more randomness.
But having a better one is a better option

I remember trying one of yours when I was developing ladybug, thanks

I've just written a 14 byte prng which is a hack of the 16 byte one but this reduces the period to 31459
This one I'm a bit unsure of and needs further testing but is probably ok for games
   
I doubt I can get it any smaller without seriously compromising the period
