Say what you want about human perception of randomness, but I definitely find the raindrops to be more visually appealing than pseudo or quasi random.

As was said in the other comments, it seems to me that the distinguishing feature is the average spacing around each point, most likely caused by droplets aggregating when too close.

This is one of those things that always drives me crazy with iTunes shuffle feature with the dj thing, repeat frequency. Yes, I want random, no, I don't want songs to repeat immediately. If someone could fix this with a pseudo-quasi "random" algorithm I'd be eternally grateful.



iTunes used to have a slider in the settings that would make it "more random" (would try to play songs from different artists and albums). Apparently, it got removed around iTunes 8: http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-93993.ht...
