random-human algorithm?
does anyone have a - simple algorithm - for tessellating the window
with images randomly?
it's well known that human concept of random differs from the
mathematical...
for this instance:

about 30% is whitespace, whereas the average user would probably
prefer something nearer 5%
I've had success in the past when I've wanted to /cover/ a surface
randomly by splitting it into a grid of 1/2 the size (on each
dimension, so 1/4 of the area) of the smallest image, then putting one
image at a random position in each cell. It does seem like there
might be an algorithm that is less prone to almost-entire-overlap
though.
