&gt; To do this they had to remove the limits placed by the game publishers on the number of enemies that can be present in a level.<p>So they discovered what they intentionally introduced via breakage? It seems they couldn&#x27;t find what they set out to for, and rather than writing that they just shoe horned the result they wanted into the game.

Such a waste of time. Should have been at most someone&#x27;s bacherol thesis.

&quot;We don’t know how to prove that a game is fun, we don’t know what that means mathematically&quot;<p>Sometimes the jokes write themselves :) But seriously, thank goodness for that. I don&#x27;t want to see the products that come out of the corporations that would be extracting maximum mathematically-proven fun for their widget subscription services.
