May I ask why in particular you're interested in the Mersenne Twister? I mean, they do claim that the Mersenne Twister is the "most popular" pseudorandom number generator today, but... the C library, for example, (and any program such as Perl that uses the standard C library) uses the Lehmer random number generator. It's very simple:

SEED = ( SEED * A + B ) MOD C

...where A, B, and C are some fractions, although in the C library, the value of B is set to 1.

Look here https://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2015/04/17/random-number-generator-mersenne-twister/ This page has a well documented source code. And maybe here as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_random_number_generators which shows a list of random number generators.
