Perhaps you could try forking mine, which already had the features implemented.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out that it IS.

hotcrystal0 wrote: June 13th, 2026, 8:26 am Is there any reason why Lenia’s (the continuous CA) behavior most closely resembles LTL bug rules?

In both types of rules, a singular cell is tiny relative to its neighbors, and high resolution (larger) neighborhood approximates the continuous neighborhood of Lenia.

The incident between B468S02357 and NNlk05 is the textbook example of what you shouldn't do: enforcing forum rules in a "rude" way.

EDIT: apparently it's completely unrelated to forum rules as pointed out by the post below, however I can't read through all of them.

I've explained everything I can with pictures. The car translator is not to blame. I'm just coming up with an addition to the tic-tac-toe game. And it came up! There's a third player getting there... And I remember that the hackers' logo is placed in the same field of 9-by-9 cells.

Welp, I don't ...

Can you explain what did you write in the post?
Your explanation is hard to read probably because it's the fault of the translator. Try explaining it in simple languages.

It could exist in Golly with Ruletable (can define any range-1 rules that has 2-256 states), but I'm not sure how would "predator prey interactions" that you meant works.
