Better random algorithm?

Question

I\'m making a game in C++ and it involves filling tiles with random booleans (either yes or no) whether it is yes or no is decided by rand() % 1. It doesn\'t fe

I have used the Mersenne Twister random number generator successfully for many years. Its source code is available from the maths department of Hiroshima Uni here. (Direct link so you don't have to read Japanese!)

What is great about this algorithm is that:

1. Its 'randomness' is very good
2. Its state vector is a vector of unsigned ints and an index, so it is very easy to save its state, reload its state, and resume a pseudo-random process from where it left off.

I'd recommend giving it a look for your game.
