LT can mimic Langton's ant.
One cell needs 13x21 LT squares. Assume there are
unlimited tunnel colors.
The upper part of the cell (five rows) was chopped
off. (See attachment.)
Assume there are tunnels at A14, K15, A16, D16,
F16, H16, J16, and L16. (All have different
colors.)
Tank at A14 or A16: "Facing left" state.
Tank at D16 or F16: "Facing up" state.
Tank at H16 or J16: "Facing right" state.
Tank at K15 or L16: "Facing down" state.
Anti-tank at C12: "White" color.
Anti-tank at D12: "Black" color.
Set of rules.
1. If the tank is in a black cell, it turns right
90° and moves forward one cell.
2. If the tank is in a white cell, it turns left
90° and moves forward one cell.
3. When the tank leaves a cell, it inverts the
color.
(One cell is 13x21 LT squares.)
If tank enters C10 tunnel, it will exit at a
tunnel in the cell below the original cell and it
will have "Facing down" state. The tunnel is like
the K15 or L16 tunnel but the color is green.
If tank enters D10 tunnel, it will exit at a
tunnel in the cell above the original cell and it
will have "Facing up" state. The tunnel is like
the D16 or F16 tunnel but the color is blue.
If tank enters C6 tunnel, it will exit at a tunnel
in the cell at the left the original cell and it
will have "Facing left" state. The tunnel is like
the A14 or A16 tunnel but the color is cyan.
If tank enters D6 tunnel, it will exit at a tunnel
in the cell at the right the original cell and it
will have "Facing right" state. The tunnel is like
the H16 or J16 tunnel but the color is yellow.
If tank enters C2 tunnel, it will exit at a tunnel
in the cell above the original cell and it will
have "Facing up" state. The tunnel is like the D16
or F16 tunnel but the color is pink.
If tank enters D2 tunnel, it will exit at a tunnel
in the cell below the original cell and it will
have "Facing down" state. The tunnel is like the
K15 or L16 tunnel but the color is white.
If tank enters C-2 (minus two) tunnel, it will
exit at a tunnel in the cell at the right the
original cell and it will have "Facing right"
state. The tunnel is like the H16 or J16 tunnel
but the color is black.
If tank enters D-2 (minus two) tunnel, it will
exit at a tunnel in the cell at the left the
original cell and it will have "Facing left"
state. The tunnel is like the A14 or A16 tunnel
but the color is "?" (tunnel #8).
To test the cell, put your tank at either: A14,
K15, A16, D16, F16, H16, J16, or L16 to replace
the bricks.
Bye,
Suyono
