LifeWiki Chinese edition. Sounds good, right?

I recommend you translate the page titled Pattern naming first, if you can spare that much effort.
The concept of 碰撞箱 ("hitbox", isn't it?) seems to match Zone of influence better since it involves interactions (碰撞属于相互作用)。包围块 is a direct translation of bounding box.
I intended to make it similar to the Chinese chemical nomenclature, where we use prepositions like 化, 合, 代 and so on. There're probably some objects whose names differ in the preposition only.介词不一定要translate，比如说“尾蜂巢”(beehive with tail) is better than“带尾的蜂巢”。
Agree.一个字is better than两个字，for example“桌”is better than“桌子”。“锅”会比“煎锅”好吗？
That's the recommended name for mango in dictionaries.杧果?
That conflicts your idea of using one word. 舟(boat)和船(ship) 不是同一系列，它们的区别看字形即可明白：舟比船的活细胞数少。舟 -> 小船
Isn't a loaf a slice of bread only?面包片 -> 面包
Thanks for your suggestion.“方者”是想笑死我……改成“块阻器”or something like that...
Disagree. 感应线圈(induction coil) is a term borrowed from electromagnetics, but its properties in CGoL doesn't resemble the physics as far as I see. Considering that their function is to "stabilize an edge (or edges) of another pattern without touching" (Lifewiki), I coined the name 诱定器。诱定器 -> 感应线圈

The point of 感应线圈 is it produces 磁场 -> it stabilize another pattern without touching it.GUYTU6J wrote: February 21st, 2020, 9:13 pmThe concept of 碰撞箱 ("hitbox", isn't it?) seems to match Zone of influence better since it involves interactions (碰撞属于相互作用)。包围块 is a direct translation of bounding box.I intended to make it similar to the Chinese chemical nomenclature, where we use prepositions like 化, 合, 代 and so on.

The "magnetic field" in cellular automata is still called zone of influence.

We call them 七联骨牌 and 五联骨牌 respectively. Monomino is often referred to as 单方块, domino is 多米诺, and any higher polyominos (多联骨牌) are named *联骨牌. Honestly I haven't heard about anything where greek numeral prefixes are translated phonetically into Chinese.pcallahan wrote: February 26th, 2020, 3:49 pm Hé pǔ duōmǐnuò? Phonetic?

Or maybe 七米诺 (chimino) for 7-omino and 五米诺 (wumino) for 5-omino.
I suppose monomino is 单骨牌. 单方块 is closer to "single cell".GUYTU6J wrote: February 27th, 2020, 1:41 amWe call them 七联骨牌 and 五联骨牌 respectively.

(By the way, there's no official translation for the similar term polyplet in Chinese yet; in Baidu's search results polyplet is the top one. Any suggestions other than transliteration?)

Thanks. I had a question that I deleted originally, but I wondered what is the term for mah jong tile. Google translate says "麻将牌" which includes the same character 牌 (pái) so maybe I was on the right track.

"bon ben" isn't an "actual" word, but a spoken French equivalent of "well"; and the end of the sentence was about how you're in luck I don't remember anything of what I learned during my German classes.Moosey wrote: February 27th, 2020, 11:30 am As much as I could translate:
