## Installation

    $ npm install seed-random

## API

```javascript

var assert = require('assert');

var seed = require('../');

var trueRandomA = seed();

var trueRandomB = seed();

assert(trueRandomA() != trueRandomB());

var fakeRandomA = seed('foo');

var fakeRandomB = seed('foo');

assert(fakeRandomA() == fakeRandomB());

var fakeRandomC = seed('foo', {entropy: true});

var fakeRandomD = seed('foo', {entropy: true});

assert(fakeRandomC() != fakeRandomD());

seed('foo', {global: true});//over-ride global Math.random

var numA = Math.random();

seed('foo', {global: true});

var numB = Math.random();

assert(numA == numB);//always true

seed.resetGlobal();//reset to default Math.random

```
