rule editor

Touching on the rule string in the option dialog, this rule editor will be opened.


On the top you see the rule string. Touching on this string sets the position of the cursor. The number in red among them shows the current cursor/string position. This is useful, cause the character at this position dictates the value of the cell in the next generation, if the sum of value of the neighbour cells is equal to the position number.
Touch the button "use it" provides the new rule to the option dialog and returns.
