A Simple Cellular Automata

Here we have two types of rules: classic elementary rules and the totalistic three-state variant. Pick a preset, click the canvas to randomize, or redraw to see a new pattern.

What does this show?

  1. Each row influences the next row based on the selected rule.
  2. A group of 3 pixels determines the next state of the center pixel below them vertically.
  3. Bizarrely complex patterns can emerge from simple rules.
