Compiling:
RandBytes is written on CoffeeScript, first you need install this with npm install coffee-script
$ git clone https://github.com/exos/node-randbytes.git
$ cd node-randbytes
$ coffee -c -o . src/
Usage
Reading from /dev/urandom (secure and faster):
var RandBytes = 'randbytes'; var randomSource = RandBytesurandom; randomSource;
Or:
var RandBytes = ; RandBytes;
Get rand bytes from timestamp
If you are not using a Unix like OS, you can generate random bytes from time:
var randomSource = RandBytestimeRandom;
Using your own file
var randomSource = filePath: '/home/you/walesongs.wav';
Create a instance of urandom with /dev/random as source
If you need a high randomize source, you can read from /dev/random, but is very slowly.
var randomSource; randomSource;
