Random::
; A simple hardware-based random number generator (RNG).
; Two random numbers are generated by adding and subtracting
; the divider to the respective values every time it's called.
; The divider is a register that increments at a rate of 16384Hz.
; For comparison, the Game Boy operates at a clock speed of 4.2MHz.
; Additionally, an equivalent function is executed in VBlank.
; This leaves a with the value in hRandomSub.

BattleRandom::
