@j_miskov it seems like it to me! i see that in old games.

when would you say people started thinking in that sort of pre-object-oriented parallel data way?

simple figure, barbell, corner pillar, cross

which is just so much less natural than doing it as an agent on a grid of inert black and white cells.

ant = {
x: 1,
y: 6,
facing: east
}

it definitely predates the object oriented programming fad, but people were doing agents without objects.
is there a reason people describe langton's ant as cellular automata? i feel like it's incredibly unwieldy if you implement it as cellular automata. you need ant (e, s, w, n) x (black, white) and then it 'walks' by having cells in front of it know which direction they are and become an ant.

@balint it doesn't have overpasses, but i do really like the bridges in brogue! they're one of my favorite examples of vistas in 2d generated spaces.
