Rule Collections

These use frames to display collections of cellular automata rules. Usually the starting rule is chosen at random.
  • August Addition Rules Mandala option.
  • Brainsheets Exhibition
  • Classic Cellular Automata Rules
  • Decay Cellular Automata Rules
  • Fingerprints Hexagonal Cellular Automata Rules
  • George's Brain Hexagonal Cellular Automata Rules
  • Hexagonal Brain Cellular Automata Rules
  • Hexagonal Life-Like Cellular Automata Rules
  • June Odds And Ends
  • Life-Like Cellular Automata Rules
  • Other Hexagonal Cellular Automata Rules
  • Parity Cellular Automata Rules
  • Reversible Cellular Automata Rules are amazing!
  • Some Other Rules

    Standalone Exhibits

    Usually simple displays of single rules in larger universes. Unlike rule collections and rule mix labs these do not have a randomly chosen starting rule. These pages are good pages to hyperlink to.
  • Brain 134 Patterns
  • Crop Circles: Rule 3/01234 from 11101
  • Doppler Effect Cellular Automata Rule
  • Fractal Triangle Pattern Cellular Automata Rule
  • Free CA Software Rule Evolution Experiment is mindless fun with rule mutation and text.
  • LadderLife Cellular Automata Rule
  • LadderLife: Infinite X
  • Ice Nine 24 Hour Experiment
  • Iceball Formation Experiment
  • Parity Hexagonal Cellular Automata Rule
  • Parity Flip Reversible Hexagonal Cellular Automata Rule
  • Questioning ANKOS is "A New Kind Of Art".
  • Strictly Modern Patterns
  • Triplesheets Cellular Automata Rule

    Rule Mix Labs

    These allow similar rules to be mixed in a stepwise manner, resulting in a combinatorial explosion of rules. Literally tens of thousands of rules are provided for viewing in these labs. Usually the starting rule combinations are chosen at random.
  • Brain 134 Rule Mix Lab Pattern and Mandala options.
  • Brain 3.5 Rule Mix Lab Pattern and Mandala options.
  • Brain 4.0 Rule Mix Lab Pattern and Mandala options.
  • Brain Variation Rule Mix Lab Pattern and Mandala options.
  • Brainsheets Rule Mix Lab Pattern option.
  • Out Of It Rule Mix Lab can produce nice fractal cellular automata.
  • Stick Wars Rule Mix Lab
  • Strictly Modern Rule Mix Lab Pattern and Mandala options.

    Authoring And Rule Experimentation Tools

    These allow a user to experiment in a general manner with cellular automata.
  • Author Cellular Automata Experimentation Tool
  • AuthorXY Cellular Automata Table Comparison Tool
  • Hexagonal Rule Check Lab allows hexagonal cellular automata rules to be specified by checkboxes.
  • ModernCA/Author/AuthorXY Cellular Automata Software Distribution (zip file). Download your own copy of the free cellular automata software which powers this site.
  • Rule Check Lab allows cellular automata rules to be specified by checkboxes.
  • Rule Evolution Lab Prototype (use Author instead!)
  • Rule Transformation For Pattern Generation (Calculator)

    Documentation

  • Author Documentation discusses applet parameters.
  • Benchmarking Brian's Brain discusses Java VM performance.
  • Hexagonal Cellular Automata Techniques (off site) is a technical paper which includes discussion of Modern Cellular Automata.
  • Hexagonal Warp Effect is a special effect useful for some hexagonal cellular automata.
  • Links to some other sites of interest.
  • News helps one keep track of updates.
  • Rule Transformation For Pattern Generation is technical but has nice graphics.
  • Site Map is this page.
  • Words is most of what little documentation there is. Rule specifications are described here.

    Navigation Panels

    These are panels of six which allow navigation elsewhere on the site. The Modern Cellular Automata Entrance is a navigation panel.
