No rule 30? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_30

dhammack• 13 years ago

Looks like it keeps switching rules, but I've seen some rule 30 behavior in the animation. http://archetyp.al/other_pages/cae.js

It doesn't have rule 30.

    //default list of rules
    var populateRules = function() {
        rules = new Array(57,18,90,129,130,131,132,133);
    }

Several times, I saw it stick to a single configuration for several lines, only to then suddenly start doing something else across the entire line.

Do the cells have more states than 0/1? Or is there something else I'm missing?

as pointed below, it changes rules every 5 to 25 lines.

To see how each rule pattern looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_cellular_automaton#S...

This implementation uses rules 57,18,90,129,130,131,132,133

Rule 30 and rule 110 are fun. The author should add them!

I've just added them.

My initial selection of rules was based on aesthetics and liveliness. That is, how well the output of one rule would provide interesting seed material for the next rule.

Also, if you'd like to change the pixels per cell, add a param to the link like so:

when you add time isn't that 2 dimensions? ...still beats seeing one pixel flashing
