Cellular Automata (CA)
Cellular Automata
A cellular automata is a discrete mathematical model whereby a **grid** of cells is envisaged, where the next **state** of each cell is determined by a **set of rules** which use the current state of the cell and its **neighbors** as input. Each of the bolded words above can be …
Conway's Game of Life
The so-called 'Game of Life' (or simply 'Life' as it is known by aficionados) is not the popular board game from the 1980's, but rather a simple set of rules that gives rise to a lot of curious and fascinating behaviour. ↑ Not this one, this one! ↓ The Game of Life is 'played' …
Guns (Game of Life)
A 'gun' (in the world of Cellular Automata) is a stationary pattern that emits moving patterns (i.e. spaceships). Note that a gun is a pattern which grows without limit. The first gun to be discovered was the Gosper Glider Gun. It is also the simplest known gun in Conway's Game…
