The Powder Toy Circuit Cellular Automata
Posted: January 11th, 2019, 6:17 am
These days, I downloaded TPT and explored circuit like this: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Browse/View.html?ID=60
I'm thinking about make a rule table which is like TPT Circuit.
If anyone have made this thing beefore, PLZ DON'T POST IT HERE. Don't ruin all the fun: Make the rule table by myself is quite interesting.
EDIT:
Note: Powder status means a block full of powder.
EDIT:
Here's how the circuit works(updating).
There's two type of thing in TPT: particles and walls. Electrons is particles, and powders is also particles.
Detector will be activated when there's a particle in it, and then it releases an electron.
So, if you places some random powder on the upper-most detector, it will send a electron to the left.
And then the electron pass through the conductive walls, goes into water.
EDIT:
Some more details, maybe helpful to the rule-table making:
First of all, walls doesn't follows gravity, but powders does. Let's assume it always go down in light speed(?).
Useful details:
1. Absorbing Wall absorbs everything above it. (Because the "activated detector" status is actually a particle in a detector, so it will turns into ordinary detector when it is above an absorbs wall as well.)
2. Wall blocks everything.
