Javascript Cellular Automata Simulator

[Nedearb]

Hello, I just found this forum, so please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. I have been interested in cellular automation for a few years, and I made a simple life-like automata simulator a while back and I recently learned about more complex automation rules with more than two states. So after I learned about that a little I decided to remake my simulator to support more complex rules.

If you'd like to try it out, I put it on my github website: http://nedearb.github.io/CellularAutomation/
I just started working on this a few days ago so please report any bugs you may find. :)
I also made some support for making your own rules via JSON, but it's not fully flexible right now and is in a format that isn't compatible with other simulators, so I'll need to program in different formats in the future.

I would love some help with understanding the more complex rules. Also if anyone knows of some kind of archive of complex rules so I can add them to my simulator, that would be awesome.

Here is the repo that I just created in order to seperate it from the main site: https://github.com/nedearb/CellularAuto ... e/gh-pages
Feel free to fork! :D

I found the problem: Nedearb changed their Github username to "RiverApril". So the link should be https://riverapril.github.io/CellularAutomation/. Github redirects for the main site, but not for *.github.io.

Nedearb/RiverApril - you might want to change the link in your signature so people don't keep getting confused.

As for the simulator, it's a tad laggy when you press on buttons and stuff, but the rules seem to work okay. what I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like is the JSON-based rule format. I think it is a step in the right direction to make rule-formats better-understandable and portable between different simulators.

EDIT: I just noticed that everything is like, really old. So Nedearb may not even get this.
