Different rule-sets on the same map?

Hello,

can you please help me with my search?

I am looking for a Conways Game of Life Simulator that allows me to edit the rules on the fly and create different groups of cells, each one with own rule-sets and colours on the same map.

I would like to see, how different rules compete.


Regards
Sto

Sounds like you might be looking for MattA's Cellular Explorer. (I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen the videos!)

Thank you dvgrn! This program is very young, but a good first step. Ten years ago i have seen a fully evolved program with features i am talking about, but i have forgotten the name and can not find it :-(

Is it Powder Toy? (According to its wiki, one can select groups of cells and make them follow a certain rule while having other cells follow a different rule, and unlike Cellular Explorer, it includes Generations rules.)
