So you're saying I could make a wireworld capable of modifying the very wires it goes on? That would be fun to make! And if I do it right, it could allow for potentially infinite computation! I'll set to working on a construction standard. Also, I think that someone should database all the known use...

I wasn't aware of crossovers in regular wireworld. What would be considered useful in a new kind of wireworld? Oh, also, Here is an insanely simple crossover (tiled 4x): x = 21, y = 15, rule = sigww 6.C8.C$5.EC7.EC$6.C8.C$6.C.C3.C2.C3.E$6C.8C.5C$.E.C.C4.E3.C2.C$6.C8.C $5.EC7.EC$6.C8.C$6.C.C3.C2.C3.E...

This is like wireworld, but it allows for much more complicated things, including crossovers. # sigww # signal wireworld # There are 2 kinds of signals, blue and pink. # The pink signal occurs when two blue signals collide. # The blue signal occurs when two pink signals collide. # Only the blue sign...

With some effort, I found some natural objects:

Code: Select all

All of these came from a random start.

part 2: When you use symmetries, things get complicated, because just putting in 2 cells will only count for 2 adjacent cells, not a total of 2, so you have to go through all positions like so: 0- 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2 1- 0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2 2- 0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,2 0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,2 0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0...

The rule table works by defining situations: 0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 Is not a very human looking thing, but think of it this way: .___________ |...|...|...| |_0_|_1_|_0_|.....___ |...|...|...|.-->| | |_0_|_0_|_0_|....|_1_| |...|...|...| |_0_|_0_|_0_| In the above situation, if a cell that is a 0 has 0's a...

Unfortunately, though, then the inverted patterns would always look like the odd generations, while the regular would be even. Inverted patterns have almost no use, but It would still make editing them very difficult.

actually, the bottom one can be extended by bringing the rocks farther apart. Some distances don't work, but 4 and 8+ all work.
Adding an extra rock makes it one way, obviously, but I like the reflector it makes:

I just had to make a topic about this one. Circle of life is much like this one, but I wanted to see what comes out of this.

Alright, I know this is crazy sounding, but this ca is very, very similar to B017/S01. Look at this: x = 3, y = 9, rule = B017/S01 bo$bo4$o$2bo$2bo$o! The only issue is that most other patterns don't work, so I think that there is either another condition we have to add, or this rule only works how ...

Is there some kind of compression for gigantic things that's based on where different objects are, e.g., in this order: object type x y generation (period) xflip yflip rotation Instead of storing the cells themselves? It would be really useful to have something like this, for much faster, smaller do...

strange... Probably some incompatibility, but I don't see any code used on these pages that would trigger that problem. I'm not an expert, but for starters, I would push ctrl + or ctrl - to re-render the page at a different size. You could then try looking at the page in windowed mode, in case the r...

put it in a .table file (just make a txt and change the extension) and put that into the rules folder.

Oh yeah, one thing I'm confused about is, can't you already simulate a hexagonal neighborhood in a Moore neighborhood?
