 ===== Pseudo RNG based on Linear congruential generator (LCG) =====
-The downside of the above sinus based functions, is that they have few resulting digits. They are more than adequate to pick a random cell on a map (max 512 possibilities), but unsuited for generating random numbers larger than a few thousand. The below LCG functions should work for up to 6 digits = 10^6, but I've only done a test up to 10^5.

+The below LCG functions should work for up to 6 digits = 10^6, but I've only done a test up to 10^5. Rolling 1 million random integers between 0 and 10^5 with @lcgRandInt, missed only 8 possible results. The same test with @sinRandInt missed 42458 possible results.
