A typical Crosstown
maze layout is a simple random pattern.
Chance is also useful for breaking symmetry. In Michael Brough's Glitch Tank
(2011) for the iPad,
two players attempt to destroy each other by choosing commands for robot tanks. Com-
mands include “turn right,” “go forward,” and “fire a laser.” But the commands available to each
player—four at a time—are chosen at random like cards from a shuffled deck (see Figure
).
So an ideal move isn't always available, and players often have to choose and incorporate into
their strategies less-than-ideal moves.
