+# Image_Random
+True random numbers from a digital camera
+
+This works under Linux with the GNAT compiler; modification for other platforms or compilers is left as an exercise for the desperate
+
+Ideally, the camera should have its lens cap on, or have a similar dark covering, so the image is of the camera sensor noise
+
+However, another randomly changing scene, such as a lava lamp or aquarium, may also work
+
+This is slow and only produces 64 random bytes; if you need more, it is probably best to use these bytes to seed a high-quality
+pseudo-random number generator, such as the Threefry generator
