Re: Preservation of Momentum as in billard balls

Thanks for the reply! Yeah it is kinda clear that it can be done as the physics itself is simple, but the actual implementation with simple rules and with a small neighbourhood like Moore's. I mean probably possible to do with very comples rules and a huge neighbourhood. One of my final interests ...

Preservation of Momentum as in billard balls

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are some rules in Conwas' GoL or in automatas with higher amount of states that could be used to simulate the preservation of momentum somewhat correctly as in Newtonian physics?

So my idea is to create a 2D cellular automata ...
