While [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Ruleset#Steam ruleset (CC2)|Steam]] walkers choose ''any'' random direction (even the one they're blocked in) and will simply idle for a tic if they chose poorly, MS walkers are much more aggressive and will only choose a random ''unblocked'' direction. In most situations, the only difference is a possible brief delay in Lynx that wouldn't exist in MS. However, in the tight corridors of [[Spirals]], this subtle change has such massive consequences that Microsoft felt it necessary to [[Spirals corruption|alter the level]]. | While [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Ruleset#Steam ruleset (CC2)|Steam]] walkers choose ''any'' random direction (even the one they're blocked in) and will simply idle for a tic if they chose poorly, MS walkers are much more aggressive and will only choose a random ''unblocked'' direction.

There are three differences for the walker in [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Ruleset#Steam ruleset (CC2)|Steam]]: the walker considers all four directions, even if they aren't all legal moves (the MS walker simply doesn't add it to the random number generator), and if the walker chooses a blocked direction, it counts as the use of a move, finally is that the pseudorandom number generator used in Lynx and Steam resets at the start of each level so walkers will always take the same actions throughout a level no matter how many times its played<ref>Assuming they don't interact with any variable or random elements such as [[blob]]s, or [[random force | There are three differences for the walker in [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Ruleset#Steam ruleset (CC2)|Steam]]: the walker considers all four directions, even if they aren't all legal moves (the MS walker simply doesn't add it to the random number generator), and if the walker chooses a blocked direction, it counts as the use of a move, finally is that the pseudorandom number generator used in Lynx and Steam resets at the start of each level so walkers will always take the same actions throughout a level no matter how many times its played<ref>Assuming they don't interact with any variable or random elements such as [[blob]]s, or [[random force floor]]s</ref>. | ||
