About NoteSeq Module: some suggestions

Open The-Great-Assyr opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! I was playing with your module and since I am a HUGE fan of Cellular Automata I have some suggestions you might (or might not) taking in consideration. I am not a programmer/coder so I fear it would take ages for me to implement, that's why I have opened this issue:

  1. the capability to load a state from a .txt file even if I have not tested (so far) if the state of the CA can be loaded or saved in the "save preset" option. It could be nice to "draw" the cells in the .txt file with (for istance) asterisks and the blank spaces with dots (.................*......)
  2. a lot of CA use colors to indicate the age of a cell. This could lead to interesting uses of colors, such as different pitches, or other discrete parameters.
  3. why not integrate other CAs like Langton's Ant? ;-)
  4. the world should be a torus.... Or at least there should be a swith or something to choose between a confined world or a toroid world. In a toroid world elements like gliders and generators can live and breed indefinitely allowing to generate interesting sounds. In a confined world they tend to stable configurations like flipflops or 2x2 blocks OR tend to death and both these options create pretty dull sound outputs.

BTW, that module is AWEEEESOMEEEE!!!!!!! <3

Sorry for the late response. I will think about these when doing future updates.
