Quote:...is it just me, or are blobs not as random as they are in theory? In MS it often seems as if the blobs tend to prefer squares closer to Chip (particularly in open spaces). Then again, maybe it's just part of that tendency to see bias where there really isn't any (there's a term for that, but I can't recall it right now...)It often seems that way to me, but my understanding is that in MS they are truly random. If you look at truly random numbers, they often seem non-random because they tend to not be evenly distributed; evenly distributed numbers are not random.
In Lynx, of course, they are only quasi-random -- play a level over and over and they always move the same.
