I used to play around with Langton's Ant a lot. The longer patterns remind me of the climbable game assets in "Below the Root" and "The Jungle Book", early games by Dale Disharoon/DeSharone that I played on an Apple II compatible, though they were available on DOS and C64 as well. I'd always assumed that Dale based his vines on Langton's Ant but the timeline doesn't add up. Dale's games came out several years earlier. It is an interesting aesthetic subset of digital noise. Worth noting that Dale also worked on the strange Legend of Zelda CDi games. He had an unusual arc. https://www.uvlist.net/game-173637-Below+the+Root https://www.uvlist.net/game-173637-Below+the+Root http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2012/09/dale-desharone-unspoken-legend.html http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2012/09/dale-desharone-uns...
