Wow. I didn't expect it to be this easy to create a cFastRandom class for Lua:

local cFastRandom_SeedCounter = 0


function cFastRandom()
  local self = {}
  
  local m_Counter = 0
  local m_Seed = cFastRandom_SeedCounter
  cFastRandom_SeedCounter = cFastRandom_SeedCounter + 1
  
  function self:NextNumber(a_Range)
    assert(type(a_Range) == "number")
    
    assert(a_Range <= 1000000)
    assert(a_Range > 0)
    
    Counter = m_Counter
    m_Counter = m_Counter + 1
    
    local n = a_Range + Counter * 57 + m_Seed * 57 * 57;
    n = ((n * (n * n * 15731 + 789221) + 1376312589))
    
    return ((n / 11) % a_Range);
 end
 
 return self
end
