it's interesting to see the emerging patterns, like the waves being generated by these vortexes of the three colors continually consuming each other and the waves it creates then collapsing at other locations
I made something like this a while back, but the cells only "reacted" with each other in one direction at a time. since that direction was a set rotation, not random, I just got an endlessly repeating pattern where nobody wins. this is a much better implementation!
If somehow, by random chance, the colors are positioned in three vertical bands from left to right as such - first paper, then rock and then scissors. Since scissors would never be able to consume paper, without wrapping around from the right end. Thereby paper taking over the board. Similarly positioning in favor of rock or scissors would give you the same outcome for those strategy.
Once we have three regions, one of each, all touching each other and wide enough to invade each other, then they will continue invading each other for ever. The number of regions in the whole world might go down, as regions combine, but none of them will ever go extinct.
it looks like: green pixels make all adjacent red pixels green blue pixels make all adjacent green pixels blue red pixels make all adjacent blue pixels red
@@InfraredScale In principle that's what's happening but I dont' think it's that simple. Something is being done to make the growth rounded/euclidean instead of square.
I sure looks like my man, but actually no. This pattern arises because of the scale of the experiment. The same way animal or plant cells create a fractal pattern, like a in a leaf or blood vessels, but are actually simple cells following simple laws
The start suggests that white could become any of red green or blue. But anyway, apart from that, it's any red with enough green neighbours will turn green. And similarly for green and blue. The next questions are "define 'neighbour'" and "define 'enough'". Seeing as the video lasted as long as it did without entering a loop, I'm pretty sure that each cell has more than 8 neighbours --- you can get this sort of thing with an 8-cell neighbourhood but it pretty soon enters a loop. 12, 20, 24 neighbours or more, perhaps?

Years ago there was an indie game called Liquid Wars that this reminds me of. I wish there was a new version of that
Watch at x2 speed for trippier effects
Watch at x0.25 speed for more trippier effects than this weirdo.
Blue = Scissors
Green = Paper
Red = Rock
What is white
@@drivers99 Just nothing i guess
Scissors is green and you can't prove otherwise.
still going til this day as neither team has won
How long would this have to go for, by random chance, one color to completely overtake the board?
If there are all three colors I dont think it would as they're infinitely consuming eachother back and forth
@@katto1937I think there's always a possibility for one to overtake the others, as if one ever goes extinct its prey will take over
@@katto1937the behavior is to chaotic to prove that. Their is probably a small chance depending on initial conditions for one group to 'win'.

Did anyone else check the date on this?
Wild
maybe its because i just woke up but i find it odd that i am physically unable to focus my eyes on this video for more than a few seconds
When u rub ur eyes
now this is blowing up lol
still at 4k views tho
Yeah
needs more cowbell.
What I find highly intriguing is that the pattern is full of kidney-shaped curls. Is there some physical law that determines this?
not physical laws but the way the simulation works
Here at 4.1k views.
Rules ?
it looks like:
green pixels make all adjacent red pixels green
blue pixels make all adjacent green pixels blue
red pixels make all adjacent blue pixels red

It's called rock paper scissors for a reason, they have the same rules
