HodgePodge
Purpose:
A cellular automaton, described in Scientific American May 1985, involving
the deterioration and curing of the health of a two-dimensional array of cells.
Hardware:
Compiled and tested on a '040 ColorStation. The algorithm performs best on
16-bit per pixel frame buffers, when the display window is small. The display
rate there of 25
The fun part of this simulation is to explore the variable space, and see
how many different modes you can discover -- I know of 4 or 5 distinct ones.
Sometimes, the same settings can support multiple stable modes. Pick up a copy
of The Magic Machine, by A. K. Dewdney for more details.
Enjoy
