Here you can see clusters of hexagonal cells with radius 2 to 13 evolve under an interesting ruleset.
Colors only indicate the rule that caused their ON state, colors do not affect rules.
Try it out yourself, you can find a link to the web app in my older posts.
Some interesting information about these:
| Cluster Radius | final cycle duration |
|---|---|
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 6 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 6 | 28 |
| 7 | 3 |
| 8 | 60 |
| 9 | 6 |
| 10 | 42 |
| 11 | 42 |
| 12 | 12 |
| 13 | 30 |
Hello,
I wanted to demonstrate a couple of functionalities of the HexLife Explorer like pattern placing and guided evolution ( starts at around 2:10 ) by cloning and mutating (hotkey M) the ruleset you select.
We eventually discover Ant-like behaviour.
Worked on this Hexagonal Cellular Automata Explorer a year ago and recently added a bunch of new features, please take a look and tell me what you think, it's gotten too big to mention everything.
