The program makes the image evolve >.> That is what cellular automata does. Also, I forgot to post here, but last semester I gave a 70 minute presentation on cellular automata and I used this wonderful program to demonstrate 2D Totalistic Cellular Automata  It was rather awesome because the people really liked it. Does this mean CELLAUTO is now an educational program?

- 'Build' your own rules by setting Born and Survive numbers (1)
- be able to set a generation directly without being drawn. E.g. you want to know the 1500th generation of a pattern, but you don't want to wait until everything is calculated and drawn, then I'd make it just calculate, and only draw it when generation 1500 is reached, that should save a lot of time.
I have always liked being able to play with my own rules (that was an awesome advantage in Iambian's program). And that second idea should be much faster

Yeah, spaces should only be used for arguments for commands. For example, Pxl-On(3*X +4*Y,11. Colons are best everywhere else.
Also, as a tip, if something will only ever evaluate to 1 or 0, you can use " and ", " or ", and " xor " almost like you would in BASIC. This is a lot faster than the trick of using * or +. For example:
If A=3: and B=4

The syntax didn't change, Yeong was using code that happened to work that shouldn't have

I looked at the ROL3 source, and the first thing that I noticed was that you used Lbl to find a label in another program... without supplying the program name.
Also, in the TILE subroutine, you don't need ClrDraw >.>
But the most important things that were going wrong was using unsupported tokens like ) and your math is kind of buggy. For example:
If H=4 *!(M+T'-W') *Y' *Y=4
I am surprised that worked in the old version o.o The faster and more optimised way (as well as the way that will work):
If (M+T'-W': and Y':! and Y=4: and H=4
Did it look like it was having bugs with wiggling back and forth and moving without a key being pressed? If so, after fixing up all of the math and logic, the ROL3 code worked for me.

There were quite a few, yes  Which command or commands are messing up?

Very cool, that looks nice, Nick!

Looks awesome, there are some 83+ variations as well. I believe Iambian has one on these forums somewhere.
That would be here and features a bazillion alternative rulesets he also explains his method somwhat to acheive such performance. If we are sharing examples, Patrick Pendergast (tr1p1ea) wrote a Conway's Game of Life program.  EDIT: Dang, I was ninja'd >.> My computer died mid-post, but Chrome saved the majority of it

Basically, Yeong used something like Goto Lbl "<<label","<<program>> to jump to a label in another program. That code must first search the VAT for the program, then it must search the program for the label. In Grammer, you have two options. If it isn't going to be called often, this is fine, but if you are going to use that label often, you should instead do something like:
Lbl "<<label","<<program>>→A
This way, the label address is precomputed and it your program doesn't have to constantly look for it.

@Sorunome: Yes, but each command has a name in Celtic 3, even if it doesn't have its name modified on the calc. Also, they have different syntax from the BASIC commands.
@Deep Thought: Okay, that makes sense.

Okay. What about for things like Celtic 3 or xLIB programs that modify some BASIC tokens? Is there an easy way to handle that? Also, is there an easy syntax highlighting system? I've been trying to come up with a method myself but the methods I have yet to implement don't feel too efficient.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to adapt it for FileSyst, but it uses strings of tokens as opposed to just single tokens for many of its commands. For example, code might look like:
PWD()→Str1
CD(Zeda/Doc)
VPTR(prgmDK5ION, DonkeyKong.ION)
OPEN( DonkeyKong.ION)

Yeah, we discussed on IRC what was causing the slow down. The way Yeong was doing it was due to lack of variables, so I pointed him in the direction of a command to backup or restore the current 54 variables all at once >.> This way, he can use the preferred method which is probably a few thousand times faster.

I apparently accidentally the rate button yesterday   Is there any way to easily create editors for other languages?
