Nice!!

Some interesting things about the two-armed-loop-competition contestants:
The cross loop:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 32, rule = shapeloop

I!
Generate it and look at the edge of the pattern. The speed of expansion is slow but it has a strong spark in the back. Maybe this can enable big loops to compete with smaller ones!

Another loop( I dunno its name):

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 32, rule = shapeloop

This loop spawns many stretchers, fast enough to run away from smaller loops.

Interestingly enough, the one-armed loops seem to have an advantage over the two-armed loops. The two last loops to survive are the L-loop and the alternating loop.

Code: Select all

x = 203, y = 188, rule = shapeloop:T420,420

I notice that after I removed a transition that immediately kills off the square loops (there still a transition present that slowly kills off the square loop), a larger diversity of loops appeared on the evolution of the cross loop after 45k gen. Maybe there's something special about this modification.

Here is the rule table

pi_guy314 Any hope for a another bounded rule version? I'm excited to test the new variant and would like to do so for longer periods without it growing out of hand!

Yes, simpily just remove the transition under square loop destruction on any existing bounded rule.

In fact, it is enought to change "n_states:14" to "n_states:15" (the next line after @TABLE
and rename file and rule, changing first line after @RULE in agreement with file name)

Re: Shapeloop, a new loop rule

Post by Tezcatlipoca » October 9th, 2014, 8:18 pm

Thanks for the rule tips. I'm running some of the higher mutation strains in a bounded version of the new rule variant now. And I've find myself going back to these threads a lot to copy and paste stuff, so I'm actually making a little site for myself to organize the rules and patterns, to keep track of lineages and taxonomy and maybe competitions. If anybody's interested, I can open it up to others. I won't seek to move or divide the conversation component from this place however.

Here are the extant Shapeloop Rule variants for easy view and download, I hope to put my loops and patterns up too--beyond the couple I already have. You can join me if you'd like. You'll have to create yet another account there, but that's a problem for the modern age...

Re: Shapeloop, a new loop rule

Post by pi_guy314 » October 19th, 2014, 7:52 pm

In this modification of shapeloop, loops are required to use 1 food particle each time it replicates. Food particles can't be duplicated or deleted (unless there's a bug), yet they can be moved. Selection for size will be based on the food density of the environment. A small loop in a low food density will "starve" and wont be able to reproduce, while a larger loop can get food and reproduce. The rule also has nand gate and merging circuitry (loops won't be able to use it). If you see any bugs, please report it!

Here's the rule table.

Code: Select all

@RULE foodshapeloop
version 1.08.1
1 wire
2 left signal
3 right signal
4 forward signal
5 trigger/right signal
6 idle/right signal
7 6 to 5 converter
8 signal lead
9 arm edge 1
10 arm edge 2
11 arm starter
12 arm delete
13 delete all
14 food particle
15 food/state 8
16 food/state 9
17 food/state 10
18 arm starter signal
19 boundary
#/ shows where edits/additions were made
#* shows where movements were made

Edit: Fixed some mutations that causes instant death, fixed c0b0p0's bug, reduced the amount of junk left behind, fixed many minor/rare bugs. (3/30/15) version 1.08

Edit: Fixed another bug where mutations can cause instant death, fixed a bug involving boundaries (4/14/15) version 1.08.1

It may not be that great for simulating in a boundary, but unbounded simulation could work just fine with it.

I can't post it, the RLE takes up too many characters.
Also, I was thinking about the possibility of loops decaying into food when they die - although it should probably be done in a way such that the density doesn't increase very fast (maybe when an uncommon state in the code is next to a corner or branch when the death catches up?)

I'm not sure if I should add that, the rule will lose its conservation of food particles, which I want it to keep. Also its not a necessary thing to add.

Well, the food particles tend to disperse very slowly in an unbounded grid (runners pushing food particles very far), and... the example provided stabilizes (with two active runners) before generation 225,000 - with no successful mutations appearing. It's just that... if loops can decay into or be used as food, then maybe 'predatorial' loops could emerge, which feed off other loops...

Re: Shapeloop, a new loop rule

This loop has so many mutations that even on an unbounded grid, its mutations overrun it quickly:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 16, rule = shapeloop

The stabilazation seem to be caused mostly by some bugs that breaks the arm of a loop on certain occasions. We could decide on whether to add it after those bugs are fixed.

This loop alternates between two very different forms:

In 2armshapeloop, here is a failed 2D replicator. Perhaps it can be made into a real 2D replicator.

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 9, rule = 2armshapeloop-a

I copied the new foodshapeloop rule into Golly and found this.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 8, rule = foodshapeloop

The dismal tide cannot reproduce in this environment either, and certainly not because of starvation. Are you trying to exclude small loops?

Code: Select all

x = 41, y = 41, rule = foodshapeloop

Sorry that I was inactive in the forums for a while.

The bug that causes it is quite easy to fix. Though I'm not sure if I should add it to the original shapeloop rule, since the fix may completely change the evolution of the rule. Maybe the fix could be added in the second shapeloop. Also that loop does seem to have interesting behaviors with the bug.

Its not actually a bug, the arm of the loop is too small and is not connected to the mother loop. Though I found a bug with that same species of loop.

It's actually caused by another bug. I'll go fix all those bug within foodshapeloop.

Now the first dismal tide reproduces once and the third dismal tide still does not reproduce.

Code: Select all

x = 41, y = 41, rule = foodshapeloop

Fixed.

Also here's a loop that won't expand probably due to its shape.
