Spark Notation

[drc]

This is notation for 3-state generation rules: S/B/K/3

S - Survival conditions
B - Birth conditions
K - Transitions to sparks instead of dying

Code: Select all

This a particularly interesting rule. It has a c/4:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 2, rule = 0_2_2345678_3
A3.A$.A.A!

and a p4:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = 0_2_2345678_3
.A$2A$.A!

and a p14:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 3, rule = 0_2_2345678_3
.A5.A$2A5.2A$.A5.A!
