Much more polished version of first upload to itch.io :)

What started as a simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life is a now a fully functioning generic 2-state cellular automata simulator.

The program simulates an array of living or dead cells with the ability to customise the ruleset however you please. Experiment with different rulesets and starting patterns. Some preset famous rulesets have been provided for you to explore too.

Controls:

Left click to place live cell

Right click to place dead cell

Scroll wheel to change zoom level

Middle mouse click to reset simulation





P to toggle pause

R to reset simulation

C to clear cell array

Enter to step simulation whilst paused

- to reduce cell array size

to reduce cell array size + to increase cell array size

> to speed up simulation

< to slow down simulation

1-8 to use preset ruleset

O to show/hide the ruleset toolbar

Prototype version 3:

Added ruleset editing and preset patterns

Prototype version 2:

Various bugfixes, implemented onscreen buttons for commands, stats for nerds.
