; Uses 4-byte state.
; Multiplier must be 1 (mod 4)
; Added value must be 1 (mod 2)
; This guarantees max. period (2**32)
; The quality of entropy in the bits of the seed are poorest in the lowest
; bits, and best in the highest bits.
;
; The high 8 bits are used for the low byte A to provide the best entropy in
; the most commonly used part of the return value.
;
; Finally XOR with the lower 2 bytes is used on the output, which breaks up
; some minor deficient sequential patterns. (#951)
;
; Uses the following LCG values for ax + c (mod m)
; a = $01010101
; c = $B3B3B3B3
; m = $100000000 (32-bit truncation)
;
; The multiplier was carefully chosen such that it can
; be computed with 3 adc instructions, and the increment
; was chosen to have the same value in each byte to allow
; the addition to be performed in conjunction with the
; multiplication, adding only 1 additional adc instruction.
