alea

I did not mean to convey that multiplayer games have no elements of chance, or alea.

Then alea iacta est, you have thrown your dice, and must destroy it before it destroys you.

Otherwise, something like accelerate, Alea GPU or Aparapi might be better approaches.

Do I believe that he uttered Iacta Alea Est just before doing so?

Perhaps; note that Einstein expended a great deal of effort attempting to patch up this world view in the face of QM, but kept running up against the experimental results that alea iacta est.

And I suppose if you want to be technical about it, this simulation appears to have a little piece of each of his four categories of games, to include agon, mimicry, and ilinx with the aforementioned alea.

Whenever someone uses "alea iacta est" to make a point, it's usually not the case to discuss Julius Caesar.

Even in Latin the occasional transgression is sort of allowed: "Alea iacta est" - that is of course "idium".

Aleatoric music (also aleatory music or chance music; from the Latin word alea, meaning "dice") is music in which some element of the composition is left to chance, and/or some primary element of a composed work's realization is left to the determination of its performer(s).

Also interesting from the perspective of game classifications is the one from Roger Caillois from 1958's "Les Jeux et les Hommes" into Agon (competition), Alea(chance), Mimicry(simulation), Ilinx(vertigo), as well as ludos(game(ing)) and paida(toy(ing)).

He uses four forms of play to classify games, and the one you are referring to is chance (Alea in his book).
