Use the WyRand class to represent a pseudo-random number generator that uses the WyRand algorithm by Wang Yi.

WyRand is an extremely fast hash-based random number generator with excellent statistical properties. It has a period of approximately 2⁶⁴ and passes all statistical tests including BigCrush and PractRand.

This generator is particularly suitable for simulations, games, and other applications where speed is critical. It is not cryptographically secure.
