 JavaScript's Math.random() is fast, but has problems. First, it isn't seedable, second, its randomness leaves a bit to be desired. [Johannes Baagøe](http://baagoe.org/) has done some great work in trying to find a more modern PRNG algorithm that performs well on JavaScript, and Alea seems to be the one that has come out ahead ([benchmarks](http://jsperf.com/prng-comparison)).
 
 ## Installation
-
-	npm install alea
+```bash
+npm install alea
+```
 
 ## Usage
+```js
+var Alea = require('alea')
 
-	var Alea = require('alea')
-	
-	var prng = new Alea() // add an optional seed param
+var prng = new Alea() // add an optional seed param
 
-	var nextRandnum = prng() // just call the return value of Alea
+var nextRandnum = prng() // just call the return value of Alea
+```
 
 ## Additions
 
 Also adds the ability to sync up two Alea PRNGs via the importState and exportState methods.
+```js
+var prng1 = new Alea(200)
 
-	var prng1 = new Alea(200)
-
-	prng1()
-	prng1()
+prng1()
+prng1()
 
-	// after generating a few random numbers, we will initialize a new PRNG
+// after generating a few random numbers, we will initialize a new PRNG
 
-	var prng2 = Alea.importState(prng1.exportState())
+var prng2 = Alea.importState(prng1.exportState())
 
-	// this should echo true, true, true
-	console.log(prng2() == prng1())
-	console.log(prng2() == prng1())
-	console.log(prng2() == prng1())
+// this should echo true, true, true
+console.log(prng2() == prng1())
+console.log(prng2() == prng1())
+console.log(prng2() == prng1())
+```
 
 The theory behind this is that while a server is running a simulation (for example, a game) and clients connect to the server, each client will run its own simulation without having to depend 100% on the server for every update of the simulation state. By importing the current generator state from the server, a client can join in at any time and have an accurate simulation fully in sync with the server.
