Cellular automata as pattern generator
December 29, 2011
Working on pattern generation using cellular automata. I haven’t played with CA since 1998, so it feels pretty old school. The rulesets are hard to control, but some of the more regular ones have potential when overlaid. Adding crazy colors gives bonus points.
Clarification: These images were made by manually layering several separate runs of my CA, they’re not the result of a single complex CA system. There is no actual interaction between the colored layers in the simulation.
