This is crazy bro...

Firstly I now understand how most of the "random" winner games are won so thanks😂

Yet I'm a bit confused with what you mean when you wrote "my first attempt with Grok3 was to create a deterministic simulation; one that will always have the same output (winner) given identical inputs across any machine running the simulation."

I wondered.

Is this a good thing?

A deterministic simulation with always the same output seems easy to hack.

All one or two or more users have to do is find the required inputs and always key it in...
Well that's if it's going to be a game...
