As the Hunt Automata program initializes, you will see the rules displayed.¢They are similar to Ulman's rules, but go one step further in taking¢advantage of the 8-bit ATARI'S colors.You have the choice of graphics modes¢9-11, and 15. You also have the choice of either joystick input, or a¢random culture. If you choose joystick input, you can move the cursor¢around a quadrant of the screen to lay down "seeds". Hit the return key¢when you are ready for the automata to begin. With the rules used, you will¢notice the similarity it bears with the growth and structure of crystals of various sorts. I chose to plot to the quadrants for aesthetic reasons.¢ Are there any automata explorers out there? If so, please leave me some E-MAIL on COMPUSERVE. I will appreciate hearing from you.
