Rock Paper Scissors Cellular Automata

This is assimilation!

Sort of like a BZ reaction.

I get everything up to the point where he says, "If white chooses red, and its level < 9..." How does a color choose another color? Is it 1 out of 4 neighbors? 8 neighbors? Anyplace on the board? It has to be an extant pixel, else it wouldn't have a level of 0-9. But which one? What is level? Brightness? Saturation? Then he says it has a child. Where? And these colors each eat each other in a round-robin priority loop. But which neighbor(s) are you allowed to eat in one step of the automaton?

@SherwinGooch There's a link to his blog in the description, where he explains everything.

The twirly centers seem to be the source of interestingness in the animation.

@fr3d420 Cellular automaton. You can learn more on wikipedia. :)

cool story bro.

[stavrosnobody]

[dakota8gamer]

Reminds me of The Pagemaster for some reason, when the kid is running from the paint in the library.
