Rule String Definitions

Posted: September 9th, 2020, 3:18 pm

by bprentice

This board typically uses strings to define rules. These rule string definitions are scattered all over and are difficult to find. As an example, where is the definition of the HROT rules? The users of this board would benefit if all of the rule string definitions currently in use were copied here.

For HROT Generations / 2-state,
R<range>,C<state>,S<survival>,B<birth>,N<neighbourhood>

The currently implemented neighbourhoods are,

Asterisk (A)
Checkerboard (B)
Circular (C)
Gaussian Weighted Neighbourhood (G)
Hexagonal (H)
Triangular Moore (L)
Moore (M)
Von Neumann (N)
Saltire (X)
Euclidean (2)
Tripod (3)
Star (*)
Cross (+)
Hash (#)
CoordCA Format (Custom Neighbourhoods @)
LifeViewer Format (Weighted Neighbourhoods W)
LifeViewer Format (State Weights W)

For custom weighted neighbourhoods,
specify with NW and then hex digits for each cell in the neighbourhood
if the weights are all in the range -7 to +7 use single hex digits
or if the weights are all in the range -127 to +127 use double hex digits
hexadecimal representation has MSB as sign bit:
0 to 7 represent 0 to 7
8 to f represent 0 to -7
00 to 7f represent 0 to 127
80 to ff represent 0 to -127

Example 1 becomes NW13250cb01:

Code: Select all

 1,  3,  2
 5,  0, -4
-3,  0,  1

Example 2 becomes NW8a05140464828b0694:

Code: Select all

-10,   5,  20
  4, 100,  -2
-11,   6, -20

can postfix with H for hexagonal grid or L for triangular grid
triangular grid will cause weightings to be treated as a triangular neighbourhood and flip vertically on alternating cells

For state weights, after the weighted neighbourhood string add a "," and the hex digits that represent the state weights.
For example, the state weights 1, 2, 10, 0 become 12A0

For custom non-weighted neighbourhoods, draw the neighbourhood in LifeViewer and press Ctrl + B to get the CoordCA string.
R<range>,C<states>,S<survival>,B<birth>,N@<CoordCA>

Also postfix with H or L for hexagonal or triangular neighbourhoods.

For HROT Extended Generations (only supported by CAViewer at the time of writing),
R<range>,B<birth>,S<survival>,G<genextString>,N<neighbourhood>

Where are these defined? Some of us think in pictures!

In the "Pattern viewer for forum threads" thread. It's stickied at the top of the Website Discussion subforum which is at the top of the board index.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R2,C2,S,B1,NM
o!

Take this code block. To see different neighbourhoods hit M, click "Pattern" on the top, "Change Rule" on the top, and modify the R and N parameters to see different neighbourhoods in different ranges.

This doesn't work. I want to see a picture of each neighborhood, rather than explore them.

Just press Space with C2,S,B1,N<whatever> to get the neighbourhood.

If you're that intent on seeing a picture, get out a camera.

The other method also works. Just step one generation forward and the neighbourhood shape will show up.
