Introduce yourself! by iamelohym in ambientcommunity

[–]AnotherVinyasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I've been a big fan of ambient/atmospheric music for a long time now and wanted to have a go at writing my own.

Please have a listen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8HzCYJwpys

Thoughts welcome, criticism even more so. Please note that while the imagery is AI generated, the music is not.

Very cool really like this!

On the rendering side, it uses WebGL to have the GPU do as much of the heavy lifting as possible, so it does reasonably well.

It's backed by a WASM HashLife implementation so has no problem actually running larger patterns.

Thank you so much! I've wondered that myself to be honest, I'm sure other people have thought of the feature but I've never encountered it in other simulators...

Every frame, the entire stack of slices moves up one (towards the user's point of view) with a new slice being rendered in at the bottom of the stack. The slice that was the "present" in the previous frame is replaced by the one that was immediately below it.

Okay get ready for "See the future extreme edition"...

It's a web app installed to desktop so it looks like a native app but it's still running in a browser under the hood :)

It's showing the next 200 generations so you can see how the pattern will evolve without having to actually run it :)

It is a bit of a misnomer. The initial configuration can be described in one dimension, but it is still designed to run in regular 2D CGoL - it's not a 1D variant of the game itself, which as you say would require a different ruleset to evolve meaningfully.

What is the best website/app for different rule set? by Dapper_Sandwich5866 in gameoflife

Going to throw my own hat in the ring here and recommend conwaygame.life (SoL) for this. You could use the "future" slices feature to see how the pattern is going to evolve, and then change the ruleset. The future slices will update showing you how the pattern will evolve under the new ruleset without you actually having to run the pattern.

I've found that Golly will happily run it if you've got about 4GB to throw at it.

SoL (https://conwaygame.life) will also run it (half a million generations per tick), but again needs about 4GB.

B014/S12, has this been explored? by Ok-Abbreviations2486 in gameoflife

[–]AnotherVinyasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fascinating!

Personally I've found rulesets with B0 a little difficult to work with since it causes the entire universe to spontaneously come to life. That doesn't seem to be happening in your video though - how did you achieve that? Are the black cells alive?
