Dear mobile game devs. When I play games like that, I always wonder if it’s the physics engine that’s actually random and produces the result?

Or is the result calculated before the animation happens, and dictates the animation?

I’ve always wondered. I have some notion of programming, but from far back, and I’ve been scratching my head long enough about this.

Thanks in advance.

    This question isn’t only for mobile game. I remember asking myself this very question with Super Mario Land on Game Boy when finishing a level and you had a chance to get 1up 2up 3up or a mushroom.
