Read the Potential Issues section in here "". Not simulating distributions or combinations of 2 separately generated random dice. Originally posted by author="N o i r":However, even pseudo-random can work well enough for something as simple as simulating dice. this is not a game about statistics there is no need if it was i would have no interest in playing sorry i am a busy man i am well respected in my expertise but i have not got time for learning statistics. The devs don't bother answering because, quite frankly, there is nothing to answer to. It's a function with specific inputs and deterministic outputs. And that's because the dice themselves are random, whereas the pseudo-RNG is not. In the real world of course it's the opposite, if you want "random" dice on a physical Catan board that sits on a table, you need to NOT "balance" it of course. So if you really want real "Random" on a computer, you need to "balance" it. While the results over the long time are supposed to balance out, they will produce low-likely distributions that would never happen as frequently in real life. Take this article that talks about pseudo-rng exploits in a Texas Hold'em game (and there are many historic examples): This is a mathematical fact that they're limited. rolling dice faster or later as your time runs out returns a different result, that may be predictable), and people have written algorithms to break online poker servers using this knowledge. Supposedly pseudo-RNGs are not only limited in true randomness, but also is potentially predictable and even controllable (i.e. If any of these parameters gets stuck, or doesn't change as often as needed to provide for true randomness, this is reflected in a poor distribution in the results. What you see on the computer is never "true randomness", the random algorithm on a computer works by using the HDD size, Network speed, current position of the mouse on the screen, current time in miliseconds, etc to generate results according to probabilities. So it seems to me you don't understand how the concept of randomness vs pseudo-RNG, and my math didn't seem to help (or you didn't read it). Originally posted by author="N o i r": "Random" is not the same thing as "balanced" - it is not supposed to be, The only one behaving like a flat earther is you, making empty claims fueled only by confirmation bias and fallacious anecdotal evidence.Īnyone with a cursory understating of statistics knows this very well - the reason I disagree is that no evidence of such claims of non-randomness has been presented, save for that 5 years old screenshot that cannot be easily reproduced. It's hilarious that you of all people say that, considering that statistics is an established field of science, and dice distributions is a mature field that is well understood by now. He will never see that he will only see what fits in his really small box and that is a bunch of losers upset that they lost No its supposed to be a boring runaway win, boring if win or lose. It is not supposed to mimic a board game that is a close fun battle win or lose in at lest 4 out of 5 games that is really fun. according to noir Catan is supposed to almost always have a runaway winner sometimes it will be you some times anougher. it is like telling a flat earth-er that the earth is not flat you will not get anywhere. It supports both pure random and even (aka fair) board generation.Features:Universal appZoomable mapSupports following extensions:* First Settlement 3-4 players (Classic Settlers of Catan)* First Settlement 5-6 players* Seafarers 3-4 players* Seafarers 5-6 playersSupports two board generation modes* Random board generator creates all random board* Even (fair) board generator creates board with evenly spread probabilities (no intersections with more than 12 dots) allowing for more engaging and strategic gamesif you enjoy using Hex Isle Map, please take a minute to leave a review: It is really appreciated! Neither the app, nor the publisher is in anyway affiliated with Settlers of Catan, Klaus Teuber or any of the board game publishers.Originally posted by fearenough:sparky noir do not want to do anything but disagree. This app will help you generate a new random map and allow for faster game setup. This is utility app to help you setup board in game of Catan, it is not the game itself.The Settlers of Catan is exciting multiplayer board game played on a random generated map.
