✨ NEW Cellular Automata 

Pro tip: Automata is plural, Automaton is singular

the production quality is incredible

If you want to reinvent something new (?) I made, I programmed a 1D asynchronous cellular automaton where each cell was looking into a large spatio-temporal neighborhood, tried to understand the rules followed by the cells, and applying the rule it discovered to itself. Each cell was trying to be coherent with their neighbors, but it did produce very interesting and incoherent results!

I love how berd's writing gets messier and messier with each one

Haha! I love the little changes in these automata - they give it a sort of parallel universe feel ^-^

This video has many degrees of excellent ! 1) Freely experimenting is excellent 2) Learning from others is excellent 3) Not giving up is excellent 4) Cellular Automata ARE EXCELLENT to learn code skills, fundamental principles and way more 5) Nice pictures are always excellent So I hope this video gets more views !

I giggled at berd scrawling on everything, and its reaction to being grabbed at the end : )

This is genuinely one of the most unique and well made channels that I've found on youtube. Keep it up, looking forward to see where this goes!

Omg you completely nailed it. This is far, far too relatable, as someone who has posts starting with "I came up with a cellular automata..." Your videos are impossibly brilliant, and I so appreciate the details, storytelling, and explorations :)

This channel is criminally underrated.

I love your peaceful, stick-with-it attitude. I find it so reassuring, like I'm quietly being motivated without being pushed.

The first life that you show is just a rotated GoL, and the slider is a glider rotated 45 degrees. In fact, your system should allow a mix of 2 different versions of GoL that don't interact, as each cell won't interact with it's direct neighbors

Bird is so cute, I kinda felt bad for people hating on his work :(

I have never seen a video on these topics in such a mesmerizing, hypnotic way. The calm way youre speaking paired with these visuals is something else. Very well done!

Never have I been so touched by a bird who makes cellular atomata with nothing but a red paintbrush

What a great way to showcase some cellular automata! Awesome!

This is one of the most artistic videos I've ever seen, I love the repetition of the theme it was executed perfectly!

Omg the intro caught me off guard! lol, the humming is human humming LOL

I don't know if it is the background understanding of agent based models or the house music, or even the "let's make something NEW" that made me enjoy this video so much.

Yay a new video

That birb seemed very frustrated, better give it some good food after this recording!

"this isn't even Turing complete" is such a great comment. It can be posted to so many places.

I bet you could be really original if you used floating point values in cells! Nobody's done that yet, right?

I can't believe this video only has 100,000 views. Incredible work, literally art.

I love how the berd slowly get's more and more frustrated. poor boy :(

I love how you introduce the cellular automata. It's great, love your vids

That plant one at the end generated some really wonderful patterns.

Ngl, when I started watching this video, I felt like the commentary was really slow and awkward, but I quickly found it to be really entertaining with the music, visuals, and overall feeling. I don't know if the intention was to tell a story that felt like art, but that's what it felt like. This video feels like a piece of art and I don't know how to explain it properly. I felt like I was taken on a trip through the mind of a programmer just trying to create something and push through the crowd.

This is one of the most charming things I've seen in a long time. I love this so much. Instant subscription. The small tweaks you made to each of the systems was delightful, and it was fun seeing how the variations resulted in different yet very similar outputs. Absolutely delightful!~

I love the pace of your narration! So calm

With your first one that is basically GoL with a Ferz-Dabbaba neighborhood, I thought of an interesting idea: fairychess GoL. Every piece has a state. That state is defined by a combination of elementary leapers. Since we're using the birth/survival rules of GoL, each piece has exactly three parents. Surviving squares do not change their state. But newborn squares combine the states used by their parents to create them, with finite range states taking precedence over infinite range states.

This is such a neat video! I don’t normally comment but this is a truly special channel. Love to see what your going to do next!

I watched a couple of your videos now, and each and every single one of them is unique, very good and is probably better than anything RU-vid has recommended to me. These videos are even making me inspired to create my own unique sandbox/automaton worlds, and maybe even post them to youtube! Thank you for being such an epic RU-vidr and programmer!

My brain is in heaven after watching that video. Truly amazing stuff.

You feel the frustration of the bird near the end

I think this is a really good way to show how a lot of communities will scrutinize people for making things just because someone else made them too, and how it affects the makers and influences them to give up on creation. Really good video!

I'm glad this is a just a story about Berd and that it's to be continued; a little thought in the back of my head was worried that this was your way of announcing you quit!

“Turns out it’s hard to make new stuff” -a quote that I definitely made myself and wasn’t hard to make

This is awesome! I've never actually heard of the last ones

Here before this channel blows up! Lovely work!

I'm new and want to note that that's the first video I see of your 6.09k subs channel

4:02 THIS MADE MY JAW DROP, I ALMOST SCREAMED LMAO such great content!!

I am impressed at how well this held my attention and how much I was laughing at you crossing everything out. Amazing video.

Thankfully youtube recommended me this channel. The quality of the content is something unique and I like the approach very much. If I may say, your voice might be a little too "unfiltered" (if thats a good word to describe it) but that doesn't really distract or bug me. Keep it up!

Congrats on 1k subscribers! Love the video, I wish I knew how to video edit the way you do

This is literally one of the best directed videos i have ever seen, it´s interesting, the music and voice match perfectly for a relaxed view and nobody is acknowledging how he managed to explain multiple well know automata in a fast, easy and interesting way; and your visuals and characters are so charming and memorable. This is the first video i encountered from your channel but you deserve way more suscribers, good luck and hope to see you succeed.

This feels like a movie. Amazing work!

I think that so much has already been done before, but coding something up yourself can be extremely fun. You can also put your own spin on things, such as a slightly different visualization or a few tweaks or generalizations, and I think that can add real value. In any case, I appreciated the stuff you did in this video, and I hope you keep doing more things like it!

After 23 years on this earth and approximately half of them spent on the internet, I didn't think I would ever discover a whole new "type" of video to fall in love with. Of course the animations and the narration are superb, but what really prompted me to write this comment is this feeling of unearthing something completely new. This feels like a weird mix of slam poetry, meditation and nerdy math stuff. Maybe this was a bit more noticeable for me because I already did a lot of automata stuff myself and felt like I already knew a bit about the topic itself, but wow, this was an awesome watch. Inspiring creativity. You deserve way more attention for this, let's hope me and the other 7000 people weren't the last ones to get steered towards this corner of the internet by its beloved and mysterious algorithms.

I just got recommended this channel and I'm binging it. Absolutely surreal and the comedy is so unique. I just don't know what to say. Cheers

I love how you make videos with other purposes other than to show off what you've coded

This channel is amazing, I subscribed after the first video. Haven’t watched the full video yet, but I can already tell it has enough work and thought behind it to rival some of the biggest channels out there. BTW: was the music sync with your words at 3:09 intentional? Super cool detail!!

This is such a unique niche you got here. Something like "somewhat creepy, uneasy mathematics and programming". This bird character you're playing is perfect, and the voice is so machine like and uneasy I love it. Please make more videos like this I've subscribed!!!

Wow, that was an adventure. Loved it!!

I just discovered your channel and I really do like what I see. I hope you continue and I really like the frog / pond theme.

"This isn't even turing complete" must be the one the most insulting lmao

This is probably the best thing YT has recommended me... You're massively underrated!

absolute delight to watch and listen to! learnt a lot as well, thank you!

7:43 the bird went crazy lol

skateboarding is an amazing album. Props for choosing this particular song my friend.

Just found you channel and your voice is really soothing

I like how the scribbles are Fourier transforms

As a cellular automata enjoyer myself, I loved the presentation, it is like a guessing game for cellular automata nerds. It was also real fun that you just change one smart little thing for each of them and explain like it's nothing lol.

New to You is still new. If someone else has done it before it's a connection across time and an opportunity to learn more. Unless you want NEW to mean "publishable". That's much less fun.

No, bird, don’t get discouraged😢 There were some really cool automata that I’d never heard of before, loved this video!!

This cellular automata are so interesting! I can't believe I've never heard of them before. I'm going to try to make one of these

this is not a video, this is a trip! I never tripped with programming before, thanks for this travel!

The narration and visuals of this are so good, it really is a shame I did not discover you earlier

This is incredibly high quality, I'm shocked you still only have 1.17k subscribers

Now that I watched all the videos of you, this is somehow my favorite currently 😊

Beautifully presented ❤

This is insane genius and the best coding related video ive ever seen

Man this video was so awesome! Makes me really want to try and make each one of these.

Thanks for the survey of cellular automata. I feel sorry for poor bird. I think he lost it. :-)

Fantastic video, cute bird :)

I love the way of storytelling!

I love this channel, Great video!

This video got recommended to me. I especially liked the RGB one near the end.

As somebody who has dealt a lot with automatas in the past this was a fun watch

There’s a really interesting version of the plant automata where they add predators

this is the first video i watched and i spend a whole night investigating Cellular Automata

I think I relate to this video too much... Sometimes I worry about making something unique and forget about the fun in making my own version of something that already exists!

cool generation methods. I used and mixed similar ones in my project to generate structures for a 2D world in 2017, I really enjoyed working with all of them, even though I reinvented the wheel. It's interesting to see others try this.

Nice video, very interesting - and somewhat unsettling - narrating voice. Enjoyed it.

thank you youtube for the channel recommendation, literally first 20 seconds and i already hit subscribe

Great video!

Absolutely surreal!

"Almost everything that can be created have been already created"

3:45 "So let's just put the input into an xor gate."

Wonderful, though perhaps something more asynchronous would be more original, with a neighborhood of 40 surrounding squares, surely that's new!

Awesome work

I really admire your channel. You have such a unique touch thats very funny and heart warming. It's great to see so much personality in a nerd video like this, with some really good high level explanations as well. This video is my favourite and I really like the commentary on ~being unique~ Edit: I need to edit this because I don't like my intial phrasing. To me, this video showcases not the issue with individuality but the issue with seeing uniqueness as being inherently competitive. Thinking that an idea can only have value when it comes from the first people. But ideas don't originate from single people but are instead a product of multiple people synthesizing together. They are even a product of society at large, as these ideas could only be made given their education. And this education could only have happened given the hard manual labour of the gentle worker, keepnig the academics in their chair! And so while ideas are a product of society at large, so too do they belong to society at large. Patents and the concept of plagiarism only stagnates the creative process of the collective and we are much better off without them. The only difference between you and them is that they came first, they had material wealth to materialize their ideas, and they had an academic background to get outreach. These are not good reasons to stagnate the progress of ideas.

Oh 🐦. I like the.. how to put it.. "etheric ambience" (?) on the video. I certainly have to go and check out some other videos on this channel!

this video is art. i'm astonished.

This is actually my all time favorite youtube video... thank you

I'd never seen MNCA - I mean LNCA - before, that one looks super neat! I loved your visualization of it :)

A very lovely and refreshingly honest video! It beautifully reflects our desire to discover new things. I enjoyed watching it!

omfg dude idk why I love this but I love this

I adore all of these

I love the video and the editing!
