Living Cells: A Collection of Cellular Automata
Living Cells is a collection of cellular automata that simulate different types of life forms based on specific rules. Developed by Malcolm-Soft, this Android application offers a variety of cellular automata simulations, including the famous Life by John Conway, its colored variant, Generations, which includes Brian's Brain, and the Turmites family, with Langton's ant being the most well-known example.
Unlike traditional games, Living Cells does not require any input from the player. However, users can still influence the behavior of the cells by adjusting rules, creating new cells, or dragging existing ones on the interactive field. The application provides four types of cellular automata, each with its own set of rules. Users also have the option to enter their own custom rules.
The interactive field allows users to easily create and erase cells, as well as drag existing cells. By long-pressing, users can switch between adding and erasing cells. The simulation pauses by default, but this can be adjusted to suit the user's preference.
Living Cells also offers a customizable look and feel for the cells. Users can choose from a selection of preinstalled themes or create their own unique themes.
Additionally, Living Cells can be used as a live wallpaper, adding a dynamic and visually appealing element to the user's Android device.
Overall, Living Cells provides an engaging and versatile experience for those interested in cellular automata simulations. Whether you are a fan of Conway's Game of Life or want to explore other variations, Living Cells offers a range of options to satisfy your curiosity.
