Currently it goes weird

You should be able to pan the camera with right-click dragging.

This is a huge engine change. Be careful!

When you choose a new channel value, it should slide there, instead of snapping

might look better, and it was what I was originally planning anyway

Maybe there should be a slight bias to the redraw random selection for a little bit after panning or zooming, so that it redraws the parts that will need redrawing a bit more quickly

When the world is nearly full of a very active cell (such as direction water) the random redraw rate does not reliably draw the remaining empty cells. This makes it look like there are floating phantom cells there. Non-active cells should be drawn more somehow!

Something goes wrong with symmetries I think

There should be a state property for different brush sizes

When the page loads, the world should be positioned in a better place. Maybe in the center? Maybe on the right? Maybe zoomed out a bit so you can see the edges?

It doesn't have to be pretty yet! Just make it ugly and jerky for now

When drawing with the brush, it should interpolate cells and fill those in too.

Might improve performance when there is a low number of cells on screen (but lots of pixels)

You should be able to drag it up and down, and when you release - it should snap to a new colour and choose that!

Behave functions should expand out and make individual functions for each origin colour they could potentially be!

I'm pretty sure there's a bug where you can break the loading of the page by doing something with the camera controls during load-time. Not sure though.

^^^^^

Requires panning

Range selection end should be in front of center channel when dragging it. Can probably fix it by changing around what the selection box is a child of and stuff.

There's some weird bug where changing tabs back to the engine sometimes results in atoms disappearing

You should be able to set the camera pan speed with the WASD keys.

Maybe there could be a pile of canvases (like... 60-ish of them?) so that when the image gets redrawn, it doesn't start from scratch again. It could leave the previous frame (but scaled with CSS) underneath, and then draw on top of it in a separate, semi-transparent canvas.

Controls for brush size and speed ... on the right of the screen???

Prioritise redrawing cells that haven't been drawn in a long time. This could be a gradual bias, instead of the current approach that refuses to redraw any cells that were drawn this frame, but doesn't care if it was done last frame.

It jumps around from max green/blue to min green/blue (and vice-versa). Instead, it should alternate increasing each channel individually.

A stamped cell on the left should be the same cell colour on the right

Like, their z-value should rise and should appear 'above' other atoms

Currently the atom.move event only fires when you drag the atom with the cursor.

Allow a colour to either be one colour or another!

^^^

This would probably be an additional step before the makeRule function! (Like syntax sugar)

Important for getting tad-poles to fall down in any rotation

A colour square that can be dragged and thrown around the screen!

📌

When you change a range, or pick a different number, the number often jumps around the screen too much. Maybe it should tween to it instead? And/or maybe it should try to avoid moving if it can?

You should be able to drag the little selection boxes to pick a range!

A colour that was selected from a range on the left... should stay the same colour on the right!

It goes immediately to drag mode instead. Not sure why. Is it something to do with it thinking you have moved the cursor???

Make direction water so I can debug some brushing with a split cell

🔲

Currently can either paint colours, or diagrams. Rules would allow you to paint a random symmetry transformation!

When you close and reopen a colour square, it should remember whether each channel was expanded or not.

I need a reusable styling for paddles, which will form the basis of UI stuff!

Currently the brush does nothing when you try to brush a cell that doesn't align to the grid. Instead, it should merge smaller cells and colour them (if possible).

You should be able to pull out a paddle from the left of the screen!

There should be a menu at the top that lets you spawn atoms by grabbing them

The functions that are generated by rules - make them faster!

Make a rule system backend that gets processed in the tick function (to replace the current debug stuff)

Maybe it should overdraw the screen a tiny bit, so that when you zoom out, there's less visible dithering.
