Shifts
There are several directions in which a shift can take place, not to mention the possibility of none at all. Evolution into a constant state is also envisioned.
a - still life; no shift.
b - transversal; shift one cell across the strip.
c - diagonal; shift one cell along, one across the strip.
d - longitudinal; shift one cell along the strip.
e - vanishing; every cell enters state 0.
f - setting; every cell enters state 1.
The shift option clears the matrix panel, then displays a 64x64 matrix of 1x1 pixels showing which of the partial neighborhoods overlap consistently. The outline of a three stage, eight symbol de Bruijn matrix is always in evidence.
