Hi Hayden, Yes, a lot of those challenges would be pretty specialized. One would have to develop a pretty sophisticated physics engine to perform most of those challenges, because they require some hand and eye coordination. I think if written correctly one wouldn't necessarily have to worry about randomness since the laws of physics should do that for you, but would take considerable effort to replicate.
Even so I agree it wouldn't necessarily make a good audio game. I can't imagine having too much fun bouncing a quarter off a table into a container, dropping a lid on a cup, or similar types of challenges. Then again, I will admit I am much more of an intellectual and love games that have some sort of intellectual challenge such as trivia games like Jeopardy, puzzle games like Wheel of Fortune, etc where I'm challenged mentally not physically.
