Optional nit: Might be slightly simpler when written as a bitwise AND:

  random_4bits = random_4bits & 0b1111;

(Probably does not make a difference in the compiled code though?)

And, to also simplify the statement:

  random_4bits &= 0b1111;

(If you prefer to stick with the modulo, "%=" exists as well, even
though it's more obscure.)
