I implement the 32-bit version of the Mersenne Twister PRNG, using 30-bit arithmetic, based on http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/ARTICLES/mt.pdf . The parameters of the generator are stored in class variables prefixed with MT.
Instance Variables
states: <Array>
index: <Integer>
index
- the index of the state, which should be used to generate the next random integer value
states
- an Array holding the internal state of the generator

If you just want a quick random integer, use:
10 atRandom
Every integer interval can give a random number:
(6 to: 12) atRandom
SequenceableCollections can give randomly selected elements:
'pick one of these letters randomly' atRandom
SequenceableCollections also respond to shuffled, as in:
($A to: $Z) shuffled
The correct way to use class Random is to store one in an instance or class variable:
myGenerator := Random new.
Then use it every time you need another number between 0.0 and 1.0 (excluding)
myGenerator next
You can also generate a positive integer
myGenerator nextInt: 10!
