im experimenting with sub tick mechanics :)
im experimenting with sub tick mechanics :)
Rthey look sorta like humans :0
Fwhat sub tick mechanics
Rits like how concrete sets all on the same tick
Rit implies theres some stuff going on between ticks that updates it all at the same time
R(each pixel is updated randomly so it isnt behaviour youd normally expect)
Usubframeboxels 
Rmaybe the emergent behavior is cool but unfortunately they just have a timer
Rit’ll settle at a certain amount of ticks after placement instead of randomly
Rthats still interesting thoo
Rtheyre self updating :0
Rive noticed fire flies light up at perfectly regular intervals aswell
Romgggg i worked hard on that tiny feature
Ri just think its neat cus you could actually make a working clock if there was a way to get a signal from them lol
Rit imitates real life, nearby fireflies will sync up their flashing
Rdo the fireflies imitate their neighbours? :0
Rthey also cannibalize so beware of that
RTRUE
Rand i don’t think they can sync without contact so idk if this is helpful
Rnot alot of pepole know that about fireflies haha
Rbut place a ton of fireflies and u can see the pattern start
Smaybe because they can only move in certain directions and because there's a second one they're limited, so because the size of the box they can only do that
Sidk though
Sryan the good one he knows all
MWhat else can the humans do in sandboxels with human_edit.js
Ra lot of emergent behaviors that i wouldn’t have intended
Slove the flies in the box experiment
Ruhhhhh idk
Ri think they run from things
Si like it! very fun things happen
Rwatching the fireflies, eventually they’ll settle on 1 or 2 intervals
Ri think it’s like the virus-gray goo process
MOne of the things i also didn’t inspect they’d do first hand murder loo
Rthey can actually move in more directions than 1 in that structure
Reven if we assume they prioritise diagonal movement over everything else it doesnt explaikn why they like to stick together
Roh wait im silly it totally does hahaha
MI didn’t know plants grow faster when surrounded by carbon dioxide?
MIn game
I know they breath with CO2 in irl
I know they breath with CO2 in irl
Syay flies
Ri drew out all of the possibilities the flies would go :)
RIT SO TINY
Ssmall fly
RHUGH MUNGOUS
Ri think what creates the illusion is that we cant see them switching places
Somggg bigger
Sooh true
Swait
Spaint one of them one color
Sand the other another color
Ssee what happens
