CA - form and algorithm research

Rulecraft form & algorithm

This research works on cellular automata. First, instead of taking all the surrounding pixels as reference, this research only takes two upper pixels as reference. Second, not only the number of pixels, but also the order can influence the next generation. Third, this research has three color - black, grey, and white, which makes more variation. Then this research tries to jump to 3-dimension from 2-dimension.

This research bases on cellular automata. Comparing to traditional cellular automata research, like game of life, this research takes something new.

First, instead of taking all the surrounding pixels as reference, this research only takes two upper pixels as reference. Second, not only the number of pixels, but also the order can influence the next generation. Third, this research has three color - black, grey, and white, which makes more variation. The first step of this research is trying to generate all the possible diagrams. The second step, to have better analysis, is trying to pick up some diagrams with clear and interesting pattern and making them with higher resolution. The third step is trying to jump to 3-dimension from 2-dimension.

Since the huge amount of 3-dimonsional possibility, the ruleset setting of this step bases on the understanding of 2-dimension pattern ruleset instead of generating all the possible patterns. This research tries to keep the balance between controlling and unpredictability.
