ideas on code

I am just getting sick of rewriting this tedious code over and over every time i need it, so i figured just to throw it in a class to include any time i need it. I was just wondering if there was anything in here that is bad coding, slow, etc.?

well i would use random instead of math and time personally
that is c++11 only right?
closed account (Dy7SLyTq)
yes
how common has c++11 become in the past couple years?
closed account (Dy7SLyTq)
im not actually the best person to ask that
