Simple Prng


// uses/requires a seed between 0 & 1
// returns values in range -1 to +1
function randout = sprng(n, seed, offset = 10)
randout = sin( ([1:n] .+ (offset + seed)) .^ 2.0 );
endfunction;

Indices should start at 1 though.

I agree, zero based is a holdover from low level languages where you have shit like pointer arithmetic. Any decently abstracted language will count the way humans do.
