a rule consists of the following elements:
* a combination of pose and tile at the top: you can't modify these
* at the top, a combination of pose and tile design: these are fixed.
* the tile design that will be used to replace the current tile: you can click on it to rotate between the four possible designs.
* the pose of the bird in the next step: you can click on the bird to rotate between the four possible poses, and a fifth one that indicates that the bird will halt.

the timeline mode accumulates several past iterations of the process so that you can see its evolution.
when the screen has been filled, the timeline automatically scrolls so that the current state is at the bottom.
the previous states are always arranged relative to the bird with a hat in the current state.
it's very encouraged to use this mode as a source of visuals for algoraves.

note that the bird will pause when it arrives at a rule with a halt pose. you won't be able to step or press play until you change the rule, the current pose, and/or the current tile design.
have fun!
