[Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
Watch the introductory video here.
Description
A cellular automaton for Minetest. When you join you will be given an infinite stack of blocks of a specific color and a wand. Place the blocks in the pattern you like and left click with the wand to trigger a step for the cellular automaton. If multiple players join, they will each be given blocks of a unique color and each player's wand will only affect their blocks. The default automaton is Life 4555 (Google), but it can easily be configured to use any wxyz rule. In particular, I recommend reading Bays' original paper on the topic here. I hope someone has as much fun with this as I have been :)
There are two admin commands to help you find interesting structures:
/randomize [<threshold>] Randomizes the arena. Each node has a probability of being occupied of <threshold> (0.1 by default)
/clear Clears the arena.

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life)
Added new improved sound effects. Uploaded new intro video. I think I'm pretty much done aside from bug fixes!

There is support for multiple rules through flux.conf in the mod directory. 4555 and 5766 are the most interesting ones :) To set rule wxyz set the lineLMD wrote:Maybe multiple versions of GOL...
Code: Select all
flux.rule = { w, x, y, z }

It would be easy to restrict GOL dimensions; for example, cells only check for neighbors on xy plane - could you do that ?

Hey, if you are interested, I know this has got nothing to do with game of life, what about making a Real Time Strategy Tower Defense Game in 3D in Minetest with Entities ! I love such games !

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
It's possible to simulate traditional GOL within Life 5766. Bays sketches out the method in the paper I linked in the OP. I'll think about adding functionality to restrict the dimensions to two (or even one is interesting IMO). Do you have any ideas on how to do that in a way that will integrate cleanly with the current environment? I can't think of anything off the top of my head.LMD wrote:It would be easy to restrict GOL dimensions; for example, cells only check for neighbors on xy plane - could you do that ?

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
I love such games too. You should start a topic about it in the discussion forum. I'd consider contributing to such a thing.LMD wrote:Hey, if you are interested, I know this has got nothing to do with game of life, what about making a Real Time Strategy Tower Defense Game in 3D in Minetest with Entities !

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
Also, feel free to add any suggestions you have as issues on the Github. That's probably a better place to discuss new features than here.

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
I would really like to try this out, but the github links are giving me 404s. Also, the game seems to only ever have been made to work with 0.4.*.
I would thus like permission to maybe rewrite this game (as in maybe using the name, the original author not getting offended, etc.), since it should be relatively easy (says he, incurring Murphy's wrath) as a first game. Could I also have some pointers on possible pitfalls, resources, etc.?

I am not very good at lua. I am learning though.

Re: [Game] Flux (3D Game Of Life) [1.0]
Does anyone have a copy of this game?
Orby seems to have taken down his whole repo on github, and after a good hunt around, I cant seem to find a mirror of it.
I'd love to see if I can get it to run on 5.0+

No, not for me either (hence the post)
Texmex, (or anyone else with an archived copy) could you attatch a copy to a post here please?
