Cellular Automata

How to Use

• Click and drag on the grid to draw living cells (black squares) or erase them • Press spacebar or click "Start" to begin the simulation - cells will evolve based on their neighbors • Use "Pause" to stop the simulation, "Clear" to empty the grid, or "Randomize" for a random starting pattern • Adjust the speed slider to make the simulation run faster or slower • Click "Rules" to customize how cells behave: - Survive Rules: number of neighbors needed for a living cell to stay alive - Birth Rules: number of neighbors needed for a dead cell to become alive • Default rules follow Conway's Game of Life (survive with 2-3 neighbors, birth with exactly 3) • Experiment with different rule combinations to create unique patterns and behaviors • The grid automatically resizes to fit your browser window
