We post patterns on this forum because they are considered interesting, but we rarely define what we mean by interesting.
Is this pattern interesting?

Interesting
Re: Interesting
This 3 state pattern was generated by a program called Mod:
using this neighborhood:
and this step function:
by running 25 steps starting with a single cell in state 1 (red).
For those who can compile and run java programs and wish to experiment by generating such patterns, the source code is here:

using this neighborhood:
and this step function:
Code: Select all
public int step(int r, int c)
{
int count = 0;
int i1 = 0;
for (int i = r - 3; i < (r + 4); i++)
{
int j1 = 0;
for (int j = c - 3; j < (c + 4); j++)
{
int nw = neighborWeights[i1][j1];
if (nw != 0)
count += squareCell.getNeighbor(i, j) * nw;
j1++;
}
i1++;
}
return count % noStates;
}
