    This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other.

I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds.

    We built RuleHunt to search for interesting cellular automata rules using tiktok-style engagement monitoring. The first rule shown is Conway’s Game of Life. As you scroll, you will see other random rules – the search space is 2^512. Help us find good rule heuristics by starring the ones you like! On mobile it's a tiktok-like scrolling interface; on desktop it's an interface for targeted rule searching. Starred rules go to a global leaderboard.
