Today we learn how to use a random number generator so that we can use probability in our games!
NOTE: mt19937 is a much better choice than default_random_engine since you are guaranteed that it will be a good random engine. So instead of:
default_random_engine randomGenerator;
you type:
mt19937 randomGenerator;
And it should work fine! In fact, it is better to just always use mt19937 :)

In this episode we learn how to allocate variables on the heap using the new operator, and how to delete them from the heap with delete or delete[]! We also learn a little more about the difference between a by reference parameter and a pointer, and we learn that we should use nullptr instead of NULL :)
