Interesting one, thanks for the link!

The code is already factored out in a conflict resolution engine and a
separate position generator, so one really need
to think about generating the sequence (plus eventually handling the
feedback of the point just generated being busy,
a fully random generator just moves on noting that point did not sum into
the target point count to be reached,
the grid based one will retry a few times in the current cell)
