Re: Human-readable alternative to base64-encoded MAP rulestrings?

Hensel notation has the exact same issues and nobody complains. Your notation seems to add more letters on top of that. Thus it becomes harder to learn. That might be partially compensated, if the notation is supposed to be used mostly by people who already learned Hensel notation. Well, it is mean...

Re: Human-readable alternative to base64-encoded MAP rulestrings?

[...] So for example, B3/S236i where S6i only works vertically would be B3/S236iu, Determination but photons only work vertically would be B2audbx3i/S12.

Re: Human-readable alternative to base64-encoded MAP rulestrings?

See my idea and solution in my incubator page - is it a good idea? User:Haycat2009/Incubator/Durnak notation
So for example, B3/S236i where S6i only works vertically would be B3/S236iu, Determination but photons only work vertically would be B2audbx3i/S12.

Re: If the number of neighbors is a decimal

Suppose cells are not born and die instantly, but need to slowly go from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0. Moreover, the growth time of cells, cell apoptosis time, and the time interval of each round can also be different. Therefore, the number of neighbors may not be an integer, but may be a float ... Is th...

Is there a 0-degree reflector such that no objects block it’s output lane?
those exist for every spaceship! theyre called not putting anything in the path of the spaceship! and it reflects 0 degrees, like you said!
And on a different lane, parity or colour, thank you very much.

A rule like Cgol but where each birth transition causes the cell born to turn into a different colour, one color for each birth transition. Not sure if you meant INT or OT, and you don't specify the states of the requested CA, but Immigration seems to match the request: x = 0, y = 0, rule = Immigra...
