Modern Cellular Automata Author and AuthorXY Revisions

Modern CA Entrance / Author / AuthorXY / Documentation

June 2003

New version of the ModernCA Java applet:
  • Supports hexagonal geometry.
  • Supports larger universes, up to 2048 by 2048.
  • Allows cells to selectively count into four cell neighborhoods, either the four adjacent von Neumann neighbors (using the 'a' count code) or the four more distant diagonal neighbors (using the 'd' count code).

    Added AuthorXY, a tool for authoring comparisons of cellular automata.

    June 2002

    Added this file. Added documentation of the canonical rule notation. Improved documentation of the applet's "Rule" parameter.
