Here's the project.

Rule 184:

Rule 90:

Rule 30:

Rule 1:

Rule 255:

Rule 36:

Rule 62:

Rule 22:

Cool!

[warped_wart_wars]

Oh and you can make any automata you want. (There are some presets, such as Rules 30 and 90.)

How i can draw the pattern 62 by example

[warped_wart_wars]

Rule 62... I don't know. I'll see what the truth table for it is.

Here:

And with random initial conditions, it looks nice:

Why it's not like the photo ?

I used

@warped_wart_wars

random initial conditions

not the single one you used. Here:

By the way, very interesting !

Ok i found how to get this design (one pixel in the center of the 1st line)

design

Can you help me, step by step, to create a new rule. Can you create the rule 126 (see some rules)

Some rules

Thank you !

Oh, interesting, this is sort of a generalization of Sierpinski gaskets!

@loucheman

Can you help me, step by step, to create a new rule.

Sure! I'll make a truth-table thing.

Edit: Done! Just put the binary of the rule number in the empty slots of this:

For example, for Rule 126:

However, beware! It's very slow.

[loucheman]

I will give it a try tomorrow thks

[warped_wart_wars]

Rule 126, not a Sierpinski triangle because my code makes it wrap:

[warped_wart_wars]

Rule 22:

Edit: same but higher quality:

[loucheman]

lost of speed compare to yesterday

computing the true table before the repeat block improve the process

1 time against 360 * 480 times...

[loucheman]

i like the new method, you can easyly compute any rule !

[warped_wart_wars]

@loucheman

computing the true table before the repeat block improve the process

Yeah... I have that now. (reload the project)

[loucheman]

To gain more speed, i don't know if you can replace this:

by an update in a matrix (rgba) and after the full process, transform this matrix in a costume to finally show this costume.

[warped_wart_wars]

But what do I do with the costume? Stamp it? Stamping loses precious aliasing. (opposite of antialiasing)
