Returns an integer in [0-range] distributed depending on the value
of degree-of-randomness. At degree-of-randomness 100, I want the
distribution to be uniform. At degree-of-randomness 0, I want the
distribution to be -- I don't even know what to call this --
half-of-a-normal-distribution with the steepness proportionately
related to degree-of-randomness.
maybe a normal (gaussian) with the standard deviation (sigma)
proportional to the degree of randomness. but clip the tails. see the
graphs of the normal density function:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution. a larger variance
will get you a flatter curve that will approach a uniform distribution.
