# RaceNG

Revolutionary, innovative, groundbreaking random number generator using race conditions written in Rust. I wrote this in like an hour because I thought it would be funny (it was). I should not need to tell you this is not a reliable source of RNG you should depend on. If you do end up using it for smthn, please DM me on discord, I want to know. 

I even published to [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/RaceNG), which was suprisingly easy

How 2 use

-------------

1. `cargo add RaceNG`

2. `let result = RaceNG::race(x, y)`

3. PROFIT

Sample output: \

Explanation 4 nerds

-------------

A race condition occurs when 2 or more threads are trying to use the same variable.

Both threads try to set the variable to a certain value, but due to computer jank, they go about it at different speeds. This means that the value of the shared variable is undefined at a given time. If you print the variable it is *basically* random.
