Improve random number generation to reduce contention
Raw
ActionGenerator
In RealTimePlayer.java, Math.random() is used for random number generation.
According to Java API (Link: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html#random--),
it's suggested that each thread has their own random number generator to reduce contention.
The increasing in contention might have a significant effect since the random number generation is
in Thread implementation.
This pull request improved the condition by replacing Math.random() with Random.nextInt().
