Coded at Processing Community Day (09.02.2019 @ HeK Basel). To start just run the scetch `langtonsAnt.pde`. You can change some parameters if you like:\n- **nbrOfCols**: determines the nbr of cells on the x-axis\n- **nbrOfRows**: determines the nbr of cells on the y-axis\n- **pxPerCell**:  how big is each cell? (min value allowed is 2)\n- **renderSpeed**: set between 1 (slow) and 5000 (fast)\n\nThe size of the window is determined by these parameters (`windowWidth = nbrOfCols*pxPerCell` and `windowHeight = nbrOfRows*pxPerCell`). If the windowsize is higher than your screensize the algorithm will not start and a message is displayed to the console. Have fun!\n\n## Demo\n```java\n// parameters used for demo\nint nbrOfCols   = 210;\nint nbrOfRows   = 150;\nint pxPerCell   = 3;\nint renderSpeed = 1500;\n```\n![langtonsant](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44790691/53268564-c0691180-36e6-11e9-8e4d-fdf84d8f698f.gif)\n\n### Red Rendering (coming soon)\nThis rendering option is currently in development (see branch \"RedRendering\")\n![langtonsantred](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44790691/53277573-cd94f900-3704-11e9-8594-881136206bf9.gif)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdcts%2Flangtonsant-processing","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdcts%2Flangtonsant-processing","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdcts%2Flangtonsant-processing/lists"}
