InteractiCA

More Information

This project is part of an Independent Study Project at North Carolina State University.

By utilizing interactive sketches, we wanted to find out whether students can understand concepts in computational thinking through cellular automata.

We hope you enjoy exploring cellular automata!

Further exploration: Cellular Automata Implementations

You reached the end! Want to discover more? Take a look at some cool applications of CA below.

Cellular automata gets far more complex and varied than Conway's Game of Life. Programmers have created Cellular Automata implementations in 3D, added colors to represent a variety of cell states, and made more complicated rules for cell naibourhoods. A small variety of videos below show some notable implementations.

3D Sampler Platter

Fractals, organic growth

Plant like growth

All three videos were created using Visions of Chaos, a free software, created by Softology

Molecular patterns

Cellular patterns

Slime mold

The first two videos were created using Vulkan Automata, an open source software, created by Slackermanz
