How do I use arc4random in JavaScript? I tried to use var randomNumber = (arc4random() % 83) + 1; but I got UncaughtReferenceError: arc4random is not defined. I am not sure which libs to include to use arc4random.

arc4random() is not defined in JavaScaript. To generate random numbers in JavaScript you can use Math.random(). But I think you can easy emulate arc4random() as:

function arc4random(){
  return Math.random()*4294967296;
}

I do not believe it possible, given all research points to the fact that arc4random is not a js function, but one built in to objective-c, or ios. I'm beginning to believe you did little research into the matter. Even the tag wiki entry on SO says as much.
