Alternative octagon number shape

[TodePond]

The rectangle sucks for certain numbers.

It isn't clear from looking at it what number is (the greys are too similar). And it can't do negative numbers.

There should be a new number shape, an octagon.

Rectangle is our unsigned integer. Octagon is our signed integer.

As the number gets bigger, it could 'fill in' around the shape, like a clock/timer. By default, half is filled in, representing 0. As the clock goes round clockwise, it goes up to +4. As it goes anti-clockwise, it goes down to -4. (So, still 9 possible values).

Wait, don't rectangles have 10 possible values?

Gonna make it a hexagon instead

But what will happen to MY hexagon https://github.com/TodePond/CellPond/discussions/244?

That can be a different shape :D

Hexagons now work for setting the chance of a rule happening

Gonna close this now and split into smaller issues
