This is an overview of the main properties of eight algorithms here on codebase.

Each algorithm was implemented as stated in the linked articles. Code size, execution time was measured. Execution time includes the JSR/RTS commands. Many PRNGs have a problem when the internal state becomes 0. Since this might be an important feature, it was stated which algorithms can also eventually output and handle a 0.

The quality was assessed by a test if the low byte hits all 256 numbers for 2000 random numbers and by a graphical check of the plot of 51200 random values. In every line n, the n&7-th bit of the result was plotted. For the results annotated with high quality, I could not identify any patterns in the plot. For good quality, some slight patterns or imbalances were visible. For low quality a direct repetition of values was visible.

	result size	execution cycles	size (bytes)	seed=0	quality	plot
798 Xorshift	16bit	42	21	stuck	high
X ABC	16bit	50	28	handled	high
Whiteflame16	16bit	42*	35	handled	medium (some horizontal dashes visible)
Galois LFSR	32bit	78	50	stuck	medium (too many 0s)
Two16 PRG LSFR	16bit	120	66	stuck	high
another 16bit PRG	16bit	42	21	stuck	low
16bit PRG	16bit	81	49	stuck	low
Whiteflame8	8bit	28*	14	handled	low

* implementation has branches, execution time varies
