Anyway. I do indeed agree with you that such games have to be deterministic in order to be playable. Then again a well-trained neuronic network could make for more interesting outcomes.

As computing processing power increases, the games become more rounded. It also occurs to me that it would be most difficult to make a game such as this whose mechanic was not deterministic.
