Pushable buttons

[muzik]

Dot-difference-to-X converters. If we get to making actual interactive technology such as a calculator with working buttons, this might help.

Here's one when I brought the conversation up a few months back

If you can do this, and also extract some sort of glider output from it, then this could possibly be used as a "button" for something like a functional calculator, if anyone ever gets around to building such a crazy project.

A few years ago, 'Guam' had made a one-bit-spark-to-two-gliders converter:

Code: Select all

x = 42, y = 36, rule = LifeHistory

Dot-difference-to-X converters.

The LWSS/MWSS-to-G by codeholic and Scorbie can be used as a "dot-to-G":

Code: Select all

x = 87, y = 26, rule = LifeHistory
