Suprisingly, during development of my minild game, (not finished yet) I created accidental cell automata. Although unpredictable it works and it uses a specific trick. Due to my limited range of gamemaker knowledge, therefore the inability to create a “is this over there” function made me think outside the box. Literally.<\/p>\n
The trick<\/strong><\/p>\n The cell creates a “drone” of sorts that goes either left, right, up or down until it collides with a specific block, if it’s the right block the drone deletes itself and turns that block into the new cell. All of this happens whilst the drone is invisible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n so that’s my little trick and my “go” at cell automata. It’s not really cell automata but it does what it needs to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – orane<\/p>\n <\/p>","time":"July 19th, 2014 8:56 pm","title":"Cell automata"}
