#3 Hexagonal Grids

[Anonymous]

Hello Andrew,
I am so new on cellular automata. I really wonder that how to perform "game of life" with hexagonal environment. I tried to run "emulatehexagonal.py", however, it said
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/../Desktop/Cellular automata/Golly-3.1-Mac/Patterns/Scripts/Python/glife/EmulateHexagonal.py", line 2, in <module>
from glife.RuleTree import *
ImportError: No module named glife.RuleTree"

If you could help me, I'd really appreciate it.
Regards,
Vural Erdogan.

First problem is that you seem to have moved the Scripts folder inside the Patterns folder. Move it out so it is next to the Patterns folder.

Second problem is that EmulateHexagonal.py is not meant to be run by itself. It is called by other scripts like Scripts/Python/Rule-Generators/HexTurmite-gen.py.

Instead of using those scripts I recommend going to Help > Online Archives > Rule Table Repository and downloading some of the archives in the "Hexagonal neighborhood" section, like HexBuss.zip.
