This is a great example of art within a constrained form. Some users just try to document the randomness, saving strips which make an amazing amount of sense, with 'no locks used' in the title. (Locks, obviously, manipulate the results.) Others submit strips which make no sense at all, either for the novelty of it or out of a real appreciation for the surreal. Others use locks to try to design good random strips. It's sort of a microcosm of the possible responses to the realization that a particular genre of art can be totally encapsulated by randomness.

I don't think Steve Grand's beliefs about reality actually collapse into triviality. This is well worth the read.

This is pretty cool if you turn on a lot of the automatic stuff. You can let the computer make all the easy decisions, and hide the part of the board that is no longer relevant; and then turn the difficulty up pretty high and test your skill at the really hard decisions. Of course this gets you in a lot of losing circumstances but it's pretty fun.
