Cellular Automata

=================

Project intented to experiment with

 - Functional programming

 - React

 - Redux

 - Cellular Automata

 - SVG graphics

 

### Theory

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton:



	A cellular automaton consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as on and off (in contrast to a coupled map lattice). The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. For each cell, a set of cells called its neighborhood is defined relative to the specified cell. An initial state (time t = 0) is selected by assigning a state for each cell. A new generation is created (advancing t by 1), according to some fixed rule (generally, a mathematical function) that determines the new state of each cell in terms of the current state of the cell and the states of the cells in its neighborhood.



### Current state

 - Project uses React, Refux, SVG and implements a dynamic rules for calculating next generation of cellular automata. Rule can be flipped by clicking on an image which represents initial state of a cell and its neighborhood.

 

 

### TODO

 - Rule presets. See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GameofLife.html

 - Buttons to alter state: randomize, all empty, all full

 - Option to directly manipulare the grid

 - Autoplay: do evolution without manually clicking 'Next!' button

 - Make computation of new state more functional, perhaps with ClojureScript
