3d Cellular Automata
Posted: March 12th, 2016, 11:46 pm
Hi. I am very new to processing, and currently I am doing some exploration on 3D Cellular Automata. Basically, I followed the tutorial of Cellular Automata by Jose Sanchez ( in 2d) and I am trying to edit the codes into 3d. The first intention is to make the cell grows in the z-axis. I tried a few times, and I did not manage to do it. So in the end I chose to make the whole thing as a box, and have the activity of cells inside the box. But I failed. Could anyone help me please?
if there's a way to iterate everything in the z-axis, it would be the best! ( as that was the first intention )
Below is the code:
Thank you.
