Random Rule Bug

The RLE in the post changes even when cancelling random rule generation.
To test this, draw on any pattern and press Alt+Z. When the confirmation dialog box appears, press cancel or press the x in the upper right corner.

Re: Creating a Better CA notation (because all the others suck)

Here, have a notation that describes a lot more CA: Start with "G=" followed by "H," "S," or "T" to indicate a hexagonal, square, or triangular grid, respectively. To describe the neighborhood, use "N=" followed by an RLE in which "A" represents a neighbor and "B" represents the cell itself. After t...

When lag starts to occur, the STEP size is bypassed. Perhaps there can be a toggle to make it bypass the steps per second instead.
