Cellular automata

Demos of famous cellular automata, written in Rust and running in your browser.

• Brian's Brain

  Cells fire, rest and recover like neurons; almost every pattern sets off moving.

• Elementary cellular automata

  All 256 one-dimensional rules, from the chaos of Rule 30 to the computer inside Rule 110.

• Langton's ant

  An ant follows two rules, wanders in chaos for 10,000 steps, then builds a highway.

• Conway's Game of Life

  Cells live or die by counting their neighbours; gliders, guns and other rules to try.

• Abelian sandpile

  Grains dropped on one cell topple onto its 4 or 8 neighbours and settle into a fractal.

• Wireworld

  Draw wires and watch electrons run through them: diodes, clocks and logic gates.
