HeatonCA vs Conway Cells

Evolve colorful cellular automata rulesets and view existing ones. A gallery of known cellular automata is built into this application, additionally you can evolve your own new rules. This application implements the algorithm described in the paper: Evolving continuous cellular automata for aesthetic objectives in Genetic Programming Evolvable Machines, Heaton, J. March (2018). You can try out three different rulesets provided by this program. For more details of the algorithm refer to the cited paper.

Conway Cells invites you to discover one of the world's most famous cellular automata: The Game of Life, conceived by mathematician John Conway. Based on simple rules, shapes appear, evolve, and disappear… Each simulation is unique, unpredictable, and mesmerizing. A mathematical classic, accessible to all. Grids of living and dead cells Automatic evolution according to the rules of the Game of Life Amazing patterns, emergence of complex structures Free observation, without objectives or stress An experience that is both playful and contemplative Conway Cells lies at the crossroads of: -a game -a visual experience -a tool for scientific discovery Let the simulation run, experiment, observe… and be amazed. - For whom? Curious minds and science enthusiasts Math and computer science buffs Children, teenagers, and adults Anyone who enjoys calming visual experiences About: This app is passionately developed by KiwisApp, with the aim of promoting simple, elegant, and intelligent projects.
