(Personal) Redeveloping CA on a desert island

Post by pzq_alex » September 2nd, 2023, 10:24 am

In this thread, I'm going to pretend that I wake up one day on a desert island with only my laptop but with all CA-related stuff (Golly, apgsearch, etc.) removed, and I want to redevelop CA technology. Essentially this is this thread but slower and more systematic.

Don't interrupt my storyline; you can start your own thread if you like to.

Rules (for me):

[*] Don't just reconstruct patterns from your memory, rediscover them.
[*] Every "search program" used must have source code publicly available. (I'm going to put them on a GitHub repositry)
\sum_{n=1}^\infty H_n/n^2 = \zeta(3)

How much of current CA technology can I redevelop "on a desert island"?

If you don't want anybody to contribute, why are you doing this on a publicly editable thread? Wouldn't it make more sense to do this on a static page only you can edit? e.g. in your userspace in LW

(let's just say that there is an internet connection, but for some weird reason conwaylife.com and all other CA-related websites and web pages are blocked.)

Code: Select all

x = 192, y = 53, rule = B3/S23

Why don't it get locked? And more importantly, why do it here instead in a userspace?

Look at all the "Random posts (<username>)" threads in the Sandbox.

Also, if you want to discuss relevant issues please do not do so in this thread. I'll ask a moderator to move all this discussion to a different thread.
