I think the question looks pretty good, the only thing left I think is using "bits" for unary. I think it might be good to explain even just with an example that zero is exactly 00000000 and two is exactly 00000011 etc. For more expert CA help try the nineteenth byte chatroom, or try to hunt down some of the users who got tetris working in GoL :)

I have somewhat minimal experience actually working with cellular automata so you probably want to run it past some other people before trusting me ;) Aside from that, I think you should specify the output a bit more (I assume it should be read on a certain generation? Or do you require steady state after a certain generation?). Then I think if you move the summary of 110 to your post (basically just copy the table) you just have some formatting / grammar issues until you are ready to post. | |

You should also definitely include an explanation of 110 in your post. I think it is possible that if you allow the IO to be anywhere you may wind up with weird solutions. Certainly you can't allow that for unary IO since then they could require the inputs interleaved and the output would immediately be available. I think what you suggest is ok as long as input 1 is entirely more left than input 2 (but I'm not sure). | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 18:40 | comment | added | FryAmTheEggman | I think this is missing a lot before it can be a proper challenge, so sorry if this comes off as harsh, and thanks for using the sandbox. Since this is about a CA I don't understand what you mean by "bits" and "bytes" in several places, do you not mean to refer to cells? The difference between unary and binary IO is so significant that you should just pick one, having bonuses is highly discouraged anyway as it leads to unpleasant patterns for answerers. Is the scoring based on the initial width of the region that contains live cells? Or something else? | |
