Some make the points equidistant, some treat each point totally independently (which can result in clumps). I believe openttd uses the latter. 02:34:10 <xiong> Well, the word "random", especially in the context of a deterministic computer program, is not entirely specific; I know. 02:34:18 <Rhamphoryncus> Naw, it's fine 02:34:37 <xiong> "Fine"? What's fine? 02:35:00 <Rhamphoryncus> It's within the normal application of the word 02:35:15 <xiong> I'm not a normal person. 02:36:22 <xiong> Especially when words relate to math, science, or engineering I'm inclined to give them a technical meaning. 02:36:38 <Rhamphoryncus> random has to do with being unpredictable. In cryptography that has very strong requirements. In a computer game it's much weaker 02:37:57 <xiong> Let me put it this way. I don't expect much from a button in a computer game labeled "Random X". 02:38:10 <Rhamphoryncus> heh, true enough 02:39:38 <xiong> You might consider, on some Baysian grounds, a button that might do something rigidly deterministic to be more random than one designed to be unpredictable; since the operator has no way of knowing beforehand. So predictability is unpredictable. 02:40:18 <Rhamphoryncus> eh, that's about wordplay, not game design 02:41:17 <xiong> No no. Example: When I start a new game normally, the random seed is changed; so if I start several games each one has a different map. This leads me to expect that the New Game button contains a certain amount of randomness. 02:42:40 <xiong> Now when I do a similar thing in the editor, choosing New Scenario, I come with a set of expectations... of more or less the same degree of randomness. But the random seed is not reset and I get exactly the same map as before. This confounds my expectations. So this is *more* random. 02:43:26 <Rhamphoryncus> That's not the same usage of random 02:43:29 <xiong> The more randomness does not last; I adjust my expectations. But for that one trial, greater randomness is displayed by doing something deterministic. 02:44:45 <xiong> The true example of that kind of randomness is Flood Control Dam #3. Each time the game is played, no matter who plays it, the same controls do exactly the same thing. But for each new player, the behavior is utterly unpredictable and unexpected. 02:45:42 <ToxicFrog> You seem to be using "random" here to actually mean "unpredictable without a priori knowledge of the system" 02:46:07 <Rhamphoryncus> If someone spontaneously decides to take a trip you may say they're behaving randomly. That's one usage of random. A random number generator is a different usage, despite obviously being related. 02:46:18 <xiong> That's an extreme case, so you're tempted to wave it away as a matter of perception. But if I have total knowledge of a pseudo-random number generator then it, too, is completely predictable. 02:46:34 <ToxicFrog> Yes. Hence the "pseudo". 02:47:13 <ToxicFrog> (also, a good PRNG satisfies statistical tests for randomness despite not being truly random; also also, the player is not expected to have this intimate knowledge of the PRNG state no matter how many times they play) 02:47:23 <ToxicFrog> "Random" and "unexpected" are not the same thing. 02:47:41 <xiong> So, with no exceptions of which I know, all computer game buttons labeled "Random do this" are either random (as in unpredictable in practice) or deterministic. 02:48:45 <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: you're being overly literal of the definitions and losing the nuance of language 02:48:51 <xiong> This is why I say, I don't come to such buttons with many expectations. 02:49:16 <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, I thought I was just being questioned for my use of nuance. 02:49:36 <ToxicFrog> You're being questioned because you're using the same word to mean two totally different things in the same conversation. 02:50:01 <xiong> Two? I thought I was using it in at least four different ways. Sorry. 02:50:14 <ToxicFrog> Aah, so you're trolling. kthen. 02:50:39 *** KingJ [~KingJ-OFT@95.154.197.17] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 02:50:47 <xiong> Well, no. I was, at one time, asking if TerraGenesis deliberately clumped towns. 02:51:03 <xiong> That's an intensely practical question. 02:52:41 <xiong> The point of my discussion of the word "random" is that, in practice and unqualified, it has no meaning. So saying that town distribution is random is uninformative. 02:53:45 * xiong licks ToxicFrog to see what happens 02:54:16 <Rhamphoryncus> Actually "random distribution" is part of the jargon. It has a very specific meaning. 03:09:48 *** KingJ [~KingJ-OFT@95.154.197.17] has joined #openttd 04:11:24 *** Eddi|zuHause [~johekr@p54B73D0B.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 04:11:27 *** Eddi|zuHause2 [~johekr@p54B73D0B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd 04:26:29 *** Snail_ [~jacopocol@CPE78cd8e5ccf20-CM78cd8e5ccf1d.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has quit [Quit: Snail_] 04:40:31 *** peteris [~peteris@78.84.100.24] has joined #openttd 04:47:10 *** kkb110 [~kkb110@cpe-69-203-124-125.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #openttd 04:52:32 *** Eddi|zuHause2 [~johekr@p54B73D0B.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [] 04:52:52 *** Eddi|zuHause2 [~johekr@p54B74BCF.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd 04:59:10 *** telanus [~Barney_Er@196-210-232-54.dynamic.isadsl.co.za] has joined #openttd 04:59:30 *** Netsplit synthon.oftc.net <-> charm.oftc.net quits: Sacro, Born_Acorn, CIA-1, @orudge 05:00:55 *** Netsplit over, joins: @orudge, Born_Acorn, Sacro, CIA-1 05:20:24 *** Prof_Frink [~proffrink@5e09ee84.bb.sky.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 05:21:51 *** andythenorth [~Andy@cpc23-aztw25-2-0-cust33.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com] has joined #openttd 05:30:55 *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause 05:31:50 <Eddi|zuHause> <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: you're being overly literal of the definitions and losing the nuance of language <-- that is his special power, indeed :) 05:35:11 <Rhamphoryncus> heh 05:43:55 *** KouDy [~KouDy@175.137.100.199] has joined #openttd 05:43:56 *** KouDy1 [~KouDy@115.133.1.201] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 05:58:33 *** KouDy1 [~KouDy@115.133.8.250] has joined #openttd 06:00:22 *** andythenorth [~Andy@cpc23-aztw25-2-0-cust33.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com] has quit [Quit: andythenorth] 06:03:27 *** KouDy [~KouDy@175.137.100.199] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 06:25:21 *** Rhamphoryncus [~rhamph@d161-184-227-133.abhsia.telus.net] has quit [Quit: Rhamphoryncus] 06:26:55 *** kkb110 [~kkb110@cpe-69-203-124-125.nyc.res.rr.com] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 06:27:21 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 [~Flex@i59F6CC5C.versanet.de] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 06:27:42 *** KouDy1 [~KouDy@115.133.8.250] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 06:28:09 *** KouDy [~KouDy@175.137.102.249] has joined #openttd 06:28:54 *** kkb110_ [~kkb110@cpe-69-203-124-125.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #openttd 06:50:55 *** TWerkhoven[l] [~twerkhove@cpc3-linl7-2-0-cust522.sgyl.cable.virginmedia.com] has joined #openttd 06:52:56 *** KouDy [~KouDy@175.137.102.249] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 06:53:32 *** KouDy [~KouDy@175.137.102.249] has joined #openttd 07:02:21 *** sla_ro|master [slaco@95.76.26.172] has joined #openttd 07:06:40 <xiong> Not to start another discussion of "randomness" but how are trees generated?
