RuleEngineers Alpha 0.1.1

[R2INT]

I’ve been working on a tool for multistate rulegolfing. The alpha download is available at:
https://r2intca.com
The current version is alpha v0.1.1.

This is designed to accelerate rulegolfing using specialized techniques to reduce the effort of rule modification and error rate.
As an example, here is a 5-state INT rule I completed using RuleEngineers, where 2 cells evolve into a 51x11 still life that resembles "R2INT" and 1 cell evolves into 8 copies of the R2INT:

Code: Select all

x = 77, y = 50, rule = R2INT
26.2D7.2B$26.2A6.D2.D$34.B2.B16$76.C29$A2$.B!

Here is a screenshot of v0.1.1 alpha in action:

RuleEngineersPNG.png (288.23 KiB) Viewed 1519 times

Here's how it works: The right 9 panels are part of the Rule Editor. The pattern in G0 is the initial pattern, and everything after G0 evolves according to the rule. If you edit a cell in any generation after G0, the rule is automatically modified to accommodate that change. Cells with greyed out boxes are locked; that means that if you change that cell then it will break a previous pattern (and double right-clicking on them will take you to the first pattern that would break). The key idea is that it shows which transitions are safe to modify and which will break existing behavior, making iterative rulegolfing much easier.

The left pattern viewer is essentially a preview window of the rule's dynamics. This can be used to find common natural sequences and then import them into the Rule Editor by using Shift+Drag and then Ctrl+Shift+N.

Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Ctrl+N: new pattern
• Shift+Drag: selection in Pattern Viewer
• Ctrl+Shift+N: new pattern from selection
• RMB: increment state under cursor
• Shift+RMB: decrement state under cursor
• Ctrl+S: save rule to .rerule editable rule format
• Ctrl+O: open saved rule
• Alt+E: export in Hensel notation if 2-state
• Alt+R: export in Golly ruletable
• Alt+I: import from Golly ruletable

Let me know if you have any questions/comments, or if you made any interesting rules!

[hotcrystal0]

Nice! This will surely make rulegolfing easier.
Three questions:
1. Why is it not open-source?
2. Can you add a feature in the next build where there's an option to show the ruletable to the side and you can also edit the ruletable directly and see changes show up?
3. When did you start development on this?

Nice! This will surely make rulegolfing easier.
Three questions:

2. Can you add a feature in the next build where there's an option to show the ruletable to the side and you can also edit the ruletable directly and see changes show up?
3. When did you start development on this?

Answering all three questions:
1) I’ve kept RuleEngineers closed-source for now mainly to keep development simple while it’s still in early alpha. Maintaining an open-source project adds overhead, and I want to focus on building out the core functionality first. I may revisit this later.
2) That’s a good suggestion — I will add that to the to-do list. It will likely not be "direct" ruletable edits, since internally rules are stored as a large lookup table for maximum performance. I'm still working out the best interface for this, and it will allow you to directly edit the rules in a structured way (including variables), and it will ensure that all of the current patterns still work after the edit.
3) Development started on March 18, 2026. The first post about this program is quoted below:

Testing out my program, which will be designed to accelerate manual rulegolfing and RuleLoader engineering:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 1, rule = B2ce3ij4cj5c6ce7c/S02-an3acei4aez5aeqry6an7e
obo!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2e3ij4ij/S1c2-in3n4ky5j
bo$obo!

[wall of patterns...]

[R2INT]

Two more useful features I haven't yet mentioned in the current Alpha 0.1.1:

• You can export saved session files that allow you to save and share complete rule development sessions, including all intermediate patterns. Attached below is a zip file containing the sample save state of the version of CustomPhotons used in the "Wrong answers only thread" (zipped because .rerule file extension is not allowed on this forum):

  CustomPhotons.zip

  (2.74 KiB) Downloaded 8 times

  To open a .rerule file, use Ctrl+O; to save a .rerule file, use Ctrl+S.
• Custom Colors: Rule -> Colors brings up a menu where you can edit the state colors within the software, like you can in Golly rulefiles using the @COLORS section.

[I6_I6]

Ok, this looks really cool and all, but could you compile a MacOS-compatible version so Mac users can use it too? (Wine just stops after "RuleEngineers setup has completed".) I think this script deserves a LifeWiki article.

RuleEngineers v0.1.2 is now available on https://r2intca.com/. This update focuses on improving editing workflow, usability, and export support.

What's new:

• Added File -> Export -> Golly and File -> Export -> Hensel shortcuts.
• Replaced automatic rerandomization with a specific Randomize button.
• Added pattern viewer speed controls and compacted the toolbar to allow for more actions.
• Added a toggleable multistate selection bar with keyboard-based controls, enabled by default for rules with 6+ states.
• Added persistent locked mark opacity/brightness controls in the color settings menu.
• Added tab reordering in the rule editor.
• Added a startup title screen with New Rule, Load Rule, and Import Rule.
• Moved 'New Rule' into an inline title-screen flow and removed the old modal new-rule and new-tab prompts.
• Changed Ctrl+O to prompt for saving first.
• Raised the maximum supported state count to 16 and added low-memory safeguards for high-state rule creation.
• Refined the UI alignment.

A portable .zip version is now also available if the installer encounters any problems. If Wine fails to run it, please let me know along with any error messages.

This feature adds comments to the ruletable and groups the transitions defined by the lock table under a comment that gives the name of the tab in RuleEngineers and the RLE of the pattern in that tab in G0.

I am also adding a new option to export only the transitions that were defined within the rule, allowing faster input generation for multistate rule search programs:

Code: Select all

[splitterrules]

For 2 states, is it possible to use an INT rulestring instead of a rule table?
EDIT: I mean import, not export.

[R2INT]

For 2 states, is it possible to use an INT rulestring instead of a rule table?

Yes. Just use Alt+E to export the Hensel rulestring instead of Alt+R.

[splitterrules]

Is it possible to zoom in and out?

[R2INT]

Is it possible to zoom in and out?

It is possible to zoom in and out of each viewer using the scroll wheel, however, it is not currently possible to zoom out to show more generations in the Rule Editor.

[I6_I6]

So... I'm guessing macOS users can't have RuleEngineers until R2INT decides to make it open-source?

[b-engine]

I've been trying to install RuleEngineers on Wine via Bottles, but after installation nothing about it can been found.
