  • debug print system
  • clean up/formalise String functions
  • temporary frame memory (for string building, etc...)

Performance

= save trees to save building large trees every time = thread simulation

  • reduce simulation time
    • rewrite create-new loop to only loop through the cells it actually needs to check
  • reduce tree building time
  • profiling tools
  • resize universe hashmap, if saturated

composite states?

  • eg: Modifier: Transmission Modifier: Ordinary Modifier: Special Modifier: Excited Modifier: Quiescent

    State: Ordinary & Transmission & Quiescent
State: Ordinary & Transmission & Excited
State: Special & Transmission & Quiescent
State: Special & Transmission & Excited

  • and templated patterns?

    • eg: Pattern: Var: a = Transmission & Excited

      Var must have the same value at every use in the pattern for the pattern to match.

Functionality

= better cell editing tools:

  • selections: move, rotate, mirror

  • sub-modules = render border

  • then render cells outside of border (maybe disallow editing?) = fix re-blockifying -ve cell blocks = fix moving regions / copy-pasting between universes with different cell block dims (may be related to broken re-blockifying) = keyboard shortcuts for selecting states (0-9)

  • loading a different cells file after creating a new cells file is broken

  • draw grid (or origin axes)

  • cell initialisation options ui

  • ability to specify associated .rule file in .cells file

  • composite count matching comparison: (3 <= x <= 4) or (>= 3, <= 4)

  • figure out explanation of "or" cell patterns ("Match if one OR pattern cell matches")

  • rule pattern groups/sets/blocks

  • better parsing error messages (i.e: keep a line number counter?)

  • colour cells state buttons in rule patterns UI where only one state is used

  • reduce risk of corrupting cells files (i.e: it's too easy to overwrite, after opening with rule using different states)

  • separate model matrix and projection matrix uniform (ie: aspect ratio goes in projection, view_panning goes in model)

  • tools for creation of new rule files

  • renaming files

  • rotationally invariant patterns

  • delete states

  • unfiddlify named states given value by position in .rule file (to enable state deletion) (would require reloading the cells file to update the state values stored in memory)

  • undo history

  • shape tools (lines, circles, ...)
