Wait, don't rectangles have 10 possible values?
near enough :)
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
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).
