Hi,

I'm trying to make a series of bangs that count how many times each has been hit.

But also each bang is related to each other, in that the values of the bangs always add to 0.

so if they are arranged in a grid, . . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
if the top left bang is hit, then it
would cause the rest of the bangs
values to change, by adding a fraction
to the closest bangs and then subtracting
for each bang that's further away, with the
bottom right bang being subtracted by the
highest value.

I'm not quite sure how to do this, is there any easier way than setting up a series of addition and subtraction patches, like by creating some sorta matrix or something? Thank you.

I suspect gridflow will do what you're after (if you're on Linux, and maybe OS X).

there's a few cellular automaton examples bundled with it, I think you could hack them apart and rebuild them to do what you want.

hmmm, I'm on windows, and I fear this problem is a bit harder than my knowledge of pd extends
