CA ART GALLERY

Day & Night

A totalistic rule where cells survive and are born under symmetric conditions — what keeps a cell alive also creates new ones, producing organic, fluid patterns.

Diamoeba

A Life-like rule producing large, irregular, amoeba-shaped blobs that grow and shift unpredictably — chaotic yet strangely organic.

Brian’s Brain

A three-state rule where cells cycle through on, dying, and off — creating endlessly expanding sparks and self-propagating waves.

Lava Lamp

A continuous-state rule that produces smooth, flowing blobs reminiscent of a lava lamp — gentle, mesmerizing motion driven by simple neighborhood averaging.

Anneal

A totalistic rule where noisy initial states gradually coalesce into smooth, stable regions — mimicking the metallurgical process of annealing.

Cyclic CA

States cycle through a fixed sequence, each consuming the previous — producing hypnotic rotating spirals and self-organizing wave fronts.

Neural Net

A multi-state rule inspired by neural activation — cells fire and propagate signals through the grid, forming intricate network-like structures.

Prime Death

Cells live or die based on prime-number neighbor counts — producing fast, streaking patterns with a distinctly digital, glitch-like aesthetic.
