Every named pattern and rule preset built into Cellscape — click "try it live" on any of them to open the generator with that exact pattern or rule already loaded. A handful of the most iconic ones below link to a dedicated page with their full backstory.
Patterns that never change once formed — the "resting state" a random grid eventually settles into.
Patterns that cycle through a fixed sequence of states, forever, without moving.
Patterns that translate across the grid indefinitely, unchanged in shape.
Patterns built (not found by chance) to serve a specific function inside larger designs.
Small starting patterns that take an unusually long time to stabilize, often leaving debris and spaceships behind.
Every B/S rule preset in Cellscape — each one a different personality from the same grid-and-neighborhood idea. See the full explanation of what B/S notation means.
