Cellular Automaton 1D

This project implements a one dimensional cellular automaton. It is like the famous Game of Life, but in 1D. If you are not familiar with the concept you can read more on mathworld.wolfram.com so I recommend simply try the application. It should be self explanatory and you will be surprised.

The program runs in two stages. In the first stage the user configures the initial population of the one automaton as well as the rule that is used for creating the following populations. If you are not familiar with the rules Rule 90 with an initial cell in the middle is good enough.

In the second stage the program computes and visualizes the automaton. The program can be paused with p, continued with c, single stepped with s, reset with r, and terminated with q.

Have fun!
