Maybe we can simulate it in fewer that 8 or 64 generations?

When I run main.exe I only get a black screen.

ishanpm wrote:Could you post an explanation of the rule and the cell states? It's not very clear from the examples, and the source code is a bit dense. The main obstacle to a Golly implementation seems to be the FloodErase function, but some trickery with timing could lead to a ruletable implementation.
Code: Select all
States:
0: BACKGROUND - Empty space. Structure can be built here but no photons can exist in it.
1: WIRE - Photon-conducting structure
2: ISOLATOR - Non-conducting structure (has special functions)
3: TAIL
4: HEAD
5: FORWARD head - extends construction arm
6: BACKWARD head - retracts construction arm (if tailless, removes an entire wire)
7: DELETE head - writes remote cell BACKGROUND (ie. erases any cell)
8: WRITE head - writes remote cell WIRE
9: ISOLATE head - writes remote cell ISOLATOR
10: TOGGLE head - toggles remote cell between ISOLATOR or BACKGROUND
11: LEFT head - bends construction arm left
12: RIGHT head - bends construction arm right
13: READ head - reads remote structure type, non-destructive
14: TEMP_WRITE - Temporary state to write a remote cell WIRE
15: TEMP_ISOLATE - Temporary state to write a remote cell ISOLATE
16: QUANTUM - Temporary state that collapses to a certain photon type when reading a remote cell
ISOLATOR on right increments
ISOLATOR on left decrements
ISOLATOR on left and right increment by 5
LMB = Increment cell state
RMB = Decrement cell state
