Use the seed to generate new rules, or manually input a rule you already discovered in the past. Explore an entire multiverse of cellular automata rules, each behaving in interesting and unexpected ways.

Use the presets at the top of the game, to view some interesting configurations!

To simulate Conway's game of life, input rule 32535426845606726362912

There are 2^102 possible rules to discover! 

Post in the comments any interesting rules you found!!


How to search for new and interesting rules!

1) Press execution script and select "Search Seed By Density Delta and Activity" from the top dropdown

2) Edit the parameters in the script to match your needs

3) Press "Load Script".

4) In the output panel you should see "Script loaded successfuly"

5) Close

6) Set the rest of the options like below. If you're not using a base64 encoded image though, consider changing the Density field from 0.5 to something higher, like perhaps 11

  •  Step Duration: 0
  • Max steps per frame: 10
  • Seed: whatever number you wish to start your search with
  • Density:  number representing how many random on cells you start with. Between 11-50 are good values. Alternatively you can specify a base64 encoded image in the corresponding field, and the programm will use that to simulate the rules on
  • Enable autoincrement: on
  • Autoincrement Seed Timer: 0.5

7) Press play. As the program finds seeds, it will display them in the "Execution Script"'s output window, and it will also play a 2 second Beep sound to notify you it found something

Good luck with the hunt, and post your seeds!
