Released 2005?[1]

The "Rule" format is used by the program Golly to specify rules of cellular automata, as well as their visual appearance. It consists of one multi-section file, with the extension ".rule"; however, old (pre-2013[2]) versions split up each of what became sections into their own files, with the extensions ".table", ".tree", ".colors", and ".icons"[3], the most important being .table and .tree.
