Robert Munafo is a member of the Golly Gang and a member of the development team of Ready, an open-source, cross-platform program for exploring continuous cellular automata and reaction-diffusion systems. Ready, a sister project to Golly, supports 1D, 2D and 3D data, as well as polygonal and polyhedral meshes. In particular, it includes a continuous version of Life in which cells have floating-point values at discrete timestamps.[1]

He is most well-known for creating the command-line program ries, which can characterise arbitrary real numbers by searching for equations that they approximately satisfy, from their decimal expansions.
