║ Cellular Automata (CAs for short) are visible computations which take the ║
║ form of realtime self-generating graphics movies. The most important ║
║ near term CA applications are image processing and image generation. ║
║ CAs are fun to look at, and they alter images in interesting ways. ║
║ ║
║ CAs can be used to simulate processes as diverse as: turbulence, ║
║ heat flow, the mixing of gasses, the spread of disease, predator-prey ║
║ ecologies, erosion, and crystallization. CAs are important for physics, ║
║ chemistry, biology, computer science, and the new discipline of ║
║ artificial life. ║
║ ║
║ CAs are fully parallel computations. In a CA computation, the screen is ║
║ broken up into small cells which behave like independent, synchronized ║
║ processors. Each of these cells perform the same computation over and over,║
║ basing its successive states on the states of its nearest neighbors. ║
║ ║
║ The Autodesk Cellular Automata Laboratory looses your creativity in a ║
║ virtually infinite domain, where your discoveries may be not just0 ║
║ interesting or rewarding, but may create a whole new world. ║
