Imitate
Imitate is an Esoteric programming language created by User:Buckets in 2019, 2021 and 2022, All very Different from each other, Sharing the Same Name.
Imitate (2019)
On December 29th, 2019, User:Buckets Created the First Instance of Imitate, for the Purposes to Imitate Redstone from Minecraft but in 2D because User:Buckets did not know How To 3D in A Text Format but then later User:Buckets Changed their minds and Changed some things Slightly or Removing things Or Adding Other Elements.

| + | This is not Equivalent to Redstone Dust, If A Redstone dust is An adjacent cell to an @ or an on i, or a + that is Also On, it will be on. |
| i | This Is not Equivalent to the Redstone torch, If a + is On and on the South Adjacent cell and If there is A + on the north Adjacent cell, the North Adjacent cell will be off Unless Otherwise, If the South Adjacent cell is Off, the north Adjacent cell will be On. |
