Re:On Emulation by CompuHacker on Tuesday February 25, 2020 @09:21AM (#22413393)
The randomness in games currently available boils down to picking from a set of very large numbers and executing a limited number of code paths. That is to say, there are no non-deterministic video games, because all outcomes must be programmed.

A problem that can crop up with emulators is a lack of random seed values between runs, leading to, for example, a dungeon crawler with the same loot every time.
