FlowerRNG Lite - Minimalistic RNG implementation

FlowerRNG Lite is a minimalistic RNG library that you can incorporate into your own code. There are no protections, and states are simply Lua tables containing 4 numbers.

local LRNG = {}

--Returns 32 bits of random data as an integer that can be negative.
