Continuous rotation of random numbers displayed at customizable intervals with option to copy bytes.

Features:
- Copy up to 512 bytes (Decimal, Hexadecimal, or Base64)
- Apply custom modulo (2-255)
- Adjust autorotation speed (0.25-3s)

Use cases:
- Create one-time pads (cryptography)
- Generate policy complaint passwords (i.e. Base64)
- Arbitrary sided dice rolling (mod N + 1)
- Create "random files" of arbitrary sizes

Technical:
- A fixed-size array is used and overwritten with random bytes (default modulo 255) at every interval
- Random bytes are also generated and overwritten internally on a separate interval
- Copied bytes are derived from new random bytes (not the pad displayed)
- The background is animated with random bytes separately from the pad displayed
