So Shapeloop produces loops that move and reproduce much like organic life. These self-replicating loops harbor code for their own reproduction like organic life, and watching them evolve and interact can be really interesting. A guided evolution over time can produce results even more interesting. I, a novice to cellular automata and one really rusty in math, was able to produce some loops and patterns of interest to more seasoned players using the tendency toward complexity in self-replicating particles in a competitive environment that seems to happen in some systems.
I think this is the latest, non-specialized version of Shapeloop, "shapeloop-ltd":

I want to create a random fill of a selected area in golly using a random assortment of these parts at short random intervals (near the size of the length of an average gene). The idea is to create a "genetic soup" where new and different loop structures form. The hope is that with a large enough selection there could be some stable and novel and complex loops formed this way. Does anybody have ideas on how best to go about this? Both procedurally and programatically. The objective better stated, is to get a large random assortment of parts of genes from this table into golly. So I will hear gladly that I'm approaching it all wrong.
My first idea, was simply to collect the genes into an array or an object, and call them at random. I imagined a "write head" moving along setting them down by coordinate as it moved along the x and y in a selection building ultimately a selection for copy and paste. Unfortunately, a loop's code (that which you get from selecting and copying the loop) concatenated with code for another loop's code != both the loops together when you paste it back into Golly. I understand that golly doesn't see it this way, loops and complexity as entities representationally distinct, it just sees a flat grid with different states.
But how best to get this behavior, how best to achieve a genetic soup from parts of shapeloop loops? Attached is a CSV of the table. I will gladly take help of any kind on this problem from general to specific advice to an interested partner who would like to work on it together. Thanks for reading!
