[GOODIE] The cellular automaton used in the introduction of "A new kind of science" (Stephen Wolfram)
... is now on Squeakmap. ("NewKindOfScienceIntro")
It is quite slow and a model of a CA would be needed and rule 30 could be used to create a random-generator as Wolfram does it in Mathematica, and a real introduction would be nice, and a project, and, and, and...any more volunteers?

CAs are hard to do fast and not that intersting. Maybe someone wants to do Lindenmayer systems ?

Cool beans! I wrote a little CA LifeMorph a while back myself. Been meaning to add pluggable rules. Unlike some of the other Life implementations posted on the list, it allows you to use your mouse to draw the organisms' patterns. Pretty damn slow, though- it does no direct drawing, uses Morphs as the organism blocks
