| Jan 12, 2018 at 23:17 | comment | added | PJTraill | I had never heard of Egyptian Ratscrew, which changes the character to something closer to Racing Demons — glad to have learnt of it! Since it is no longer deterministic the termination question no longer applies, of course. I also belatedly realise that your question was tagged [computational complexity], which I had overlooked and does not apply particularly to either game, I fear. But I now see in your highlighted section that that was just an one example of a way a game could be analysed mathematically. | |
