Interactivity Procedural representations do not necessarily support user interaction. Many computational simulation methods make claims about processes in the material world, but limit user participation significantly. Take a simple computational model like the Monte Carlo method, a statistical sampling technique used to approximate the results of complex quantitative problems. The classic example of the Monte Carlo method in practice is the so-called Buffon’s needle problem. 96 In a computational model of the Monte Carlo algorithm, the user might configure the length of the needle and the distance of the lines, then run the operation.
The Grocery Game has a hard time responding to these objections, although it is possible to pick and choose among the items the search algorithm generates. While the game does not provide the user with direct access to the search algorithms that generate its lists, so that a user could wage these objections in code, it does provide a flourishing community of conversation. The message boards have entire threads devoted to savings for a particular week. This variation on the high-score list replaces hierarchical performance with discourse— an opportunity to share how well you did according to your own particular goals.
