This is my request, based on my failed attempt to simulate Life on Google Sheets:

Every cell has a value. If the sum of the values of a live cell's neighbors is 2, the cell continues living with the same value. If the sum of the values of a cell's neighbors is 3, whether the cell is live or dead, the cell's value is increased by 1 (so a dead cell will become a cell with value 1). If a cell's "neighbor sum" isn't 2 or 3, the cell dies and returns to value 0.

For illustration, here is the evolution of a single live cell with value 3:

Code: Select all

x = 64, y = 7, rule = //5
49.A.A6.A3.A$20.A9.A8.ABA7.3B5.A5.A$9.3A7.A.A7.3A6.A3.A4.AB3.BA$C8.A.
A6.A3.A5.2A.2A5.B3.B5.B3.B$9.3A7.A.A7.3A6.A3.A4.AB3.BA$20.A9.A8.ABA7.
3B5.A5.A$49.A.A6.A3.A!

This should be implemented as a 5-state rule because every cell with value 4+ behaves in the same way.

There’s a slight bug in your table. A state 4 cell is supposed to survive if it has a neighbor sum of 3.

Also, RoommateLife seems like a good name.

Notes:

• "expect" should be "except" instead
• The @RULE file is appended after the pattern's RLE above
• I interpreted the request as the following two rules:

  Code: Select all

  3, p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6, 1, 1,  3
  3, p1,p2,p3,p4,p5, 1, 1, 1,  1

  The first rule tells that a state-3 cell remains state-3 if it currently has precisely two state-1 neighbours.
  Second rule tells that a state-3 cell becomes state-1 if it currently has precisely three state-1 neighbours.
  
  If that's not what was desired, feel free to tweak the ruletable part of the @RULE file as needed. The name is temporary.

Strictly speaking, the original request was not clear enough to understand what is the intended behaviour. I just guessed one possible interpretation, and later someone else guessed another possible interpretation.

Neither 3 => 3 nor 0 => 3 counts as "birth" or "survival", as long as the semantics of Generations CA is preserved. The only "alive" cellstate is 1 (0 is "dead", and cellstates > 1 are "no longer alive").

Code: Select all

var c1={0,1,2}
var c2=c1
var c3=c1
var c4=c1
var c5=c1
var c6=c1
3, c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6, 3, 3,  3
0, c1,c2,c3,c4,c5, 3, 3, 3,  3

In this version, the two added rules are

• A state-3 cell remains state-3 when it has precisely two state-3 neighbours. This overrides the rule "a state-3 cell decays into state 0" from Star Wars, in case both rules are applicable.
• A state-0 cell becomes state-3 when it has precisely three state-3 neigbours. This overrides the rule "if a cell is currently in state 0 and has precisely two state-1 neighbours, then it will itself change to state 1" from Star Wars, in case both rules are applicable.

I would like a 3-state rule called PNP (Predator and Prey). This is inspired by a similar rule earlier in this topic. If any dead cell has 2 or 7 cells next to it, it becomes a prey or predator cell. (Note: do not allow a cell to become alive if they have different cell types. It is default to turn into prey, but if there’s more predators surrounding it, it becomes a predator.) If a prey cell is surrounded by 2 or more predators, it dies. If a predator cell has less than 2 prey next to it, it dies. A cell survives if none of the death rules apply (except when surrounded by 6 or more cells). I hope this would be interesting!

I think you may need to provide some more details before the idea becomes clear enough.

In particular, the part "It is default to turn into prey, but if there’s more predators surrounding it, it becomes a predator." apparently implies that "prey" and "predator" are two different cellstates.
However, the part "If any dead cell has 2 or 7 cells next to it, it becomes a prey or predator cell." apparently implies that "prey or predator" is a single cellstate, and "dead" is a different cellstate (so that some dead cell can indeed become a "prey or predator cell" under certain conditions).
Apparent contradiction.

The part "when surrounded by 6 or more cells" does not clarify whether those >=6 cells need to be non-dead, or those cells need to be in a specific state.
The same for the part "If any dead cell has 2 or 7 cells next to it" -- what should be states of those cells?

My interpretation (EDIT: fixed terminology):
A cell with 2 or 7 non-zero neighbors is born. If there are more predators than preys in the neighborhood, then a predator will be done, otherwise a prey will be born.
A prey will die if there are more than 2 predators next to it.
Predators will die if there are less than 3 preys next to it.
All cells will die if there are 6 or more non-zero states.

[Banananananan]

I would like a 3-state rule called PNP (Predator and Prey). This is inspired by a similar rule earlier in this topic. If any dead cell has 2 or 7 cells next to it, it becomes a prey or predator cell. (Note: do not allow a cell to become alive if they have different cell types. It is default to turn into prey, but if there’s more predators surrounding it, it becomes a predator.) If a prey cell is surrounded by 2 or more predators, it dies. If a predator cell has less than 2 prey next to it, it dies. A cell survives if none of the death rules apply (except when surrounded by 6 or more cells). I hope this would be interesting!

My interpretation (EDIT: fixed terminology):
A cell with 2 or 7 non-zero neighbors is born. If there are more predators than preys in the neighborhood, then a predator will be done, otherwise a prey will be born.
A prey will die if there are more than 2 predators next to it.
Predators will die if there are less than 3 preys next to it.
All cells will die if there are 6 or more non-zero states.

The prey spreads like wildfire, so I want prey to die if it has one or more predators next to it. Also, how about less than 2 prey, it dies.

The prey still spreads like wildfire. On its own, Prey emulates B27/S0123456, while Predator emulates B27/S. Maybe it's the significant difference between these two rules that is causing the problem.

The prey still spreads like wildfire. On its own, Prey emulates B27/S0123456, while Predator emulates B27/S. Maybe it's the significant difference between these two rules that is causing the problem.

How bout change the prey survival to B27/S126? I think that will change it to be balanced.

[muzik]

Here's a rule I came up with long time ago when I was exploring the Mites rules. It's primary purpose was to support light speed orthogonal and diagonal ships which used the same state for head and tail cells. The ships are necessarily larger than those in Mites, and for lack of a better name I called it Gnats. The comments in the rule table are not entirely accurate because the transitions are broader than what is described, but they do show the required function of each transition to give the overall rule behaviour. I retained a fourth state which is immortal to allow creation of circuitry, but stopped short of making it constructible.

Quoting and copying this post to account for the fact that there already exists a 2-state rule called "Gnats"; I've renamed the ruletable on the wiki accordingly to resolve this conflict.

[Edit by Nathan: the ruletable is now called "WildmyronGnats" on the wiki. The patterns below were found by wildmyron and are just included so that the patterns are visible in this thread under the new rule name.]

----

These are the gnats as well as a few variations thereof:

Code: Select all

x = 53, y = 15, rule = WildmyronGnats

A8.BA$B2A8.BA7.B.B8.BA8.BA7.B.B$21.BA8.BA7.B.B$20.B.B7.B.B!

And here's a sample of the circuitry. I had a larger pattern collection of constructions somewhere, but I seem to have lost it.

[...] Quoting and copying this post [...]

This feels a bit questionable, because you're copying descriptions/comments from posts by other people and reposting them as if those were your comments. (For example, "I had a larger pattern collection...")

Life but if a dead cell is surrounded by 7 live cells it becomes a fire cell, a fire live cell connected to any number of fire cells then it becomes a fire cell, all fire cells die

[yujh]

Life but if a dead cell is surrounded by 7 live cells it becomes a fire cell, a fire live cell connected to any number of fire cells then it becomes a fire cell, all fire cells die

what is the interaction between a fire cell and a live cell, and a fire live cell and a live cell? Also did you mean if a dead cell is surrounded by 7 live cells it becomes a fire live cell?
