Cellular Automata Animator v1.1, also known as DrLife is a 1d and 2d cellular automata engine to run C.A. patterns as large as 1000x1000 cells.
New in this version is Object Rexx support (Drlifeo.exe). Patterns fo C.A.'s can be in Life1.05, run length encoded (RLE), or ascii formats. Patterns can be modified before being run, and can be selected from the following sources: A file, a pattern stored as a string of 0 & 1's, or a pattern entered from the keyboard. While running the pattern, you can pause
and single-step the execution. Large patterns greater than 62,000 cells can be viewed in sections which are selectable by marquee mouse marking the pattern graphic.
All Life-like rules,and many non-life like rules can be run. Binary 1d rules with radius 1 and 2 are supported. Cell neighborhoods of 8, 9, 4 and 5 cells are built into the program. Other cell neighborhoods can be defined in a config file.
A number of public patterns are included.
Source code for use with DrDialog is included.
