+// Creating a roguelike in 2+1D anti-de Sitter spacetime seems hard, so let's start with a cellular automaton. The rules are like Conway's Game of life, except that hex tile are born at 2 neighbors and overcrowded at 3. (1/5)

+// However, it takes 4 iterations for neighbors (brown) to affect a cell (red). (Information cannot travel faster than c -- with <4 iterations cells would depend on their own future.) The blue 'plague' shows which cells are affected by the original source. (2/5)

+// Here is how the situation changes when we don't just sit on a star and try to travel. In this viz we see the situation "at the current time" (of course IRL we would see the past states). (It is more fun to play with when you can control it manually, of course.) (3/5)

+// (This why in HyperRogue we have long but narrow snakes, and ivies which grow, but nothing wider than a Kraken could move. This is because in HyperRogue time is added in in Euclidean way; anti-de Sitter spacetime adds time to the hyperbolic plane in a "better" way.) (5/5)
