  Log:
  As with other Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithms like the
  Mersenne Twister (see Math::Random::MT), this algorithm is designed to
  take some seed information and produce seemingly random results as output.
  
  However, ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) has
  different goals than these commonly used algorithms. In particular, it's
  really fast - on average, it requires only 18.75 machine cycles to generate
  a 32-bit value. This makes it suitable for applications where a significant
  amount of random data needs to be produced quickly, such solving using the
  Monte Carlo method or for games.
