Cellular Automata

Simple 2D cellular automata implementation with fun visualizations for your terminal

Features

• The default automaton is Conway's Game of Life, but many other automata with different rules are supported (using the standard Moore neighborhood).
• By default, the size of the universe will be equal to the dimensions of the terminal window. When the universe is bigger than the terminal window, the arrow/WASD keys can be used to adjust the viewport. Hold Shift to scroll a page at a time in any direction and use Home to return to the default position.
• Use the + and - keys to control the speed of the simulation.
• Support for closed and wrapped universe topologies.
• Themes!
