Sample software implementations:
The definition is not very precise, as in many games with random elements there is a mixture of both skill and luck.
So we just use the precise Non-deterministic game term instead for any game that has any random element beyond the control of the players.

It all depends on how much energy you have to probe nature with. Previously, we thought protons were elementary particles. But then we used more energy and found that they aren't.If some alien race had even less energy, they might not know about electrons at all, and could think that anyons are actually elementary.Being an "elementary particle" is always a possibly temporary label.
- Are you experienced. OMG that album...
There is no clear distinction between "serious simulations" and "physics engines", it's just that "physics engine" have a "for video game" connotation.
And especially, in the context of gaming, it usually means "rigid body dynamics simulation" in particular.
There is just one key gotcha: the project has to be useful.
The most canonical source code Ciro Santilli can find right now is: sources.debian.org/src/bsdgames/
Let's show them how it's done with primes + awk. Edit. They have a gives us the list of all twin primes up to 100:Tested on Ubuntu 22.10.
-d option which also shows gaps!!! Too strong:sudo apt install bsdgames
primes -d 1 100 | awk '/\(2\)/{print $1 - 2, $1 }'0 2
