Create an evolutionary sequence
Draw a pattern in the Rule Editor, and edit the rules by changing later generation panels to reach your target behavior.
Windows alpha
RuleEngineers v0.2.0-alpha
Currently in alpha development, RuleEngineers is advanced rulegolfing software for creating and discovering cellular automata, featuring an inline pattern-based rule editor, .rerule saving, and Hensel and Golly rule export.
Alpha note: features, behavior, UI details, and file handling may change between builds.
Rulegolfing Software
Designed for targeted cellular automata work
RuleEngineers is built for rulegolfing workflows where you define a target pattern or behavior, test the current rule, and shape the dynamics according to your desires.
Preview every iteration
The Pattern Viewer lets you check whether the rule behaves correctly and if any unexpected patterns appear.
Main workflow
Paint, simulate, and rulegolf your way closer.
The right side is the inline rule editor. Modifying the patterns displayed in G1+
changes the rule to accommodate that result. The greyed out cells are locked, so each edit is a
deliberate rulegolfing step instead of breaking the progress you already made. RuleEngineers is built for this kind of advanced rulegolfing workflow.
