Ok but what if instead of choosing a color algorithmically, we select a pixel from an existing image?

editing a wiki is fun, you guys should try it (hyperfixation)

edit: oh never mind this is a special interest and Not a hyperfixation

[aadenboy]

this blog is currently a desolate echo chamber 👍👍👍

tumblr keeps showing me a notification on the home page saying "hey there's a new post from someone you're following!", so I click it and it """refreshes""" but nothing actually changes. it's the same posts that I've already seen like a dozen times since it's static (it's showing my other blog as well??). not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what but this is driving me nutes

this is the kind of stuff that I hyperfixate over

z_(n+1) = e^(t * z_n) + c

t starts at 0 and increases to 2.

browsing the cell machine tag, stumbled on your reblog! (@morningstarthegood — tagging since I'm still a little unsure how reblogs fully work and I want to notify you specifically)

not sure how much this'll change your perspective on the thing but I've been actively editing a wiki on a remake of cell machine with over 1,200 cells and from the limited perspective I have outside of discord it's still somewhat alive! (though sometimes it's an echo chamber for myself) [https://cellua.miraheze.org/]

there's still really cool stuff being made (at least in this mod) and new members turn up every so often, alongside whatever occasional posts/videos I find lying around the internet

speaking of cell machine on tumblr (@dailycellua) (self-promo...)

One of my favorite niche online communities is one around this one small game made for a game jam once, Cell Machine. And by lord do these guys know how to entertain themselves -

Like. The base game is really simple. You've got maybe 5 or so cell types - moving cells, walls, duplicators, destroying/trash cells, enemies. It was just a small puzzle game. But the players decided to have fun

They have tons of mods, I think it started from Mystic Mod? They figured out how to make and share levels with each other, and there's mods for quality of life features and for new cells and some of these get real weird too

And the most popular entertainment is these "vaults" - levels where the players try to make a super secure wall around an enemy cell and the goal is to crack the vault and kill it. And it sounds simple but it's legit puzzles sometimes, the walls only stop you either horizontally or vertically so the simplest vault possible can be easily cracked with a moving cell just opening the wall in the direction it doesn't stop you in.

I'm not too deep in the community, probably because I'm not smart enough to come up and solve puzzles, but it's mezmerizing to watch on youtube. There are channels dedicated just to this game and they are all so small. Most get barely a few thousand views. It's a wild dive, maybe I'll get more into it.

oh yeah I guess I should reblog this since it's ME. self-promotion!

Day 1 – Advancer

The Advancer is a combination of the Mover and Puller, allowing it to both push and pull cells at the same time. It is original to CelLua being added in version 1.0.0, and was suggested by @aadenboy (hey, that's me!).

It was originally called the Pullsher, and was a botched attempt at modding a cell into version 0.1.0, being force inconsiderate.

You, I like you. You make the funny scribbles that curl brains. Could you maybe make more, please?
