A simple non-deterministic cellular automata with remarkable properties
ignore_equal() = true, tile() = false
ignore_equal() = false, tile() = true
General formula:
nws[i][j] += trans * ((wa + wb) / 2 - sin(ws[i][j] * freq * tau()))
The variables wa and wb are randomly chosen neighbour cells.
A common used setting is trans = 0.4 and freq = 0.77.

Install Rust if you have not.
-
Install Dyon-Interactive:
cargo install piston-dyon_interactive --example dyongame
- Run the script:
dyongame src/main.dyon
Adds stars using the mouse (point-and-click).
- If the star is too big, a super-nova will be created that consumes the entire map
- The map is automatically reset after a supernova
- You can cancel supernovas (or stars) by clicking on them
The stability is very sensitive depending on trans and freq.
