Dear mobile game devs. When I play games like that, I always wonder if it’s the physics engine that’s actually random and produces the result?

Or is the result calculated before the animation happens, and dictates the animation?

I’ve always wondered. I have some notion of programming, but from far back, and I’ve been scratching my head long enough about this.

Thanks in advance.

    It may be considered easy, and for sure this one probably is, but it doesn’t compare in complexity to normal physics engines. The whole thread read like it was, so I felt I should provide a better perspective on it.
