Move the Box (GAME)

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

EDIT: Post moved to sandbox.

This rule makes intricate patterns if you mix all the states at random. The blocks fall out at 9c/11o, leaving a scraggly, sparkly hull behind.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = MoveTheBox
A!

If you mix all the "canonical" states in a standard-sized box, what is the expected population after evolving without any swaps?

This looks awfully similar to Candy Crush Saga. Maybe a slight tweak could emulate it?

No, since Candy Crush Saga has randomly falling candies from the top, and CA is deterministic, not random.

This rule is not meant to be random searched, but here is me posting three random starting configs:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 12, rule = MoveTheBox

And after all boxes have fallen:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 12, rule = MoveTheBox
9A3.9A3.9A$A7.A3.A7.A3.A7.A$A7.A3.A7.A3.A7.A$A7.A3.A7.A3.A7.A$A7.A3.A

Another example of level, this time showing the annihilation of a 3x3 square of boxes:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 12, rule = MoveTheBox
9A$A4.D2.A$A2.B.C2.A$A2.EFB2.A$A2.2BC2.A$A2.2FC2.A$AB.FDB2.A$ADB2CB2.
