LLLL

This article is not detailed enough and needs to be expanded. Please help us by adding some more information.

LLLL stands for Lazy Logic Like Language and is a cellular automaton rulset that was designed in 2015. The ruleset allows design of logic circuits (similar to Wireworld). It is based on the LLL 2D language for describing circuits, and shares similarities with WireWorld and Minecraft redstone.

Language overview

The ruleset consists of 32 states plus a background state. The 32 states consist of 8 electrical components (wire, diode input, inverting input, diode output, inverted output, xor output, counter output, substrate) which all can be in 4 different states (off, head, on, tail).
