in most scripts

bmin is constant

bmax varies from xlo to xhi

smin is constant

smax varies from ylo to yhi


# bfade, q, qqq are purely visual ... not related to Cc of Golly



#=============================
#a standard rule notation

#https://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Larger_than_Life

#Rr,Cc,M1,Ssmin..smax,Bbmin..bmax,Nn

#Rr specifies the range (r is from 1 to 500 in Golly and LifeViewer; 1 to 10 in MCell).

diam = 2*r + 1

#Cc specifies the number of states (c is from 0 to 255 in Golly, LifeViewer and MCell[note 1])

#Mm specifies if the middle cell is included in the neighborhood count (m is 0 or 1).

PyMartinCA uses M1 or weighted
M1 internally even for HROT 

#Ssmin..smax specifies the count limits for a state 1 cell to survive.

#Bbmin..bmax specifies the count limits for a dead cell to become a birth.

#Nn specifies the extended neighborhood type (n is M for Moore or N for von Neumann. Golly and LifeViewer also support C for Circular neighborhood)

PyMartinCA uses NM or weighted
