Class WireWorldCA

java.lang.Object
  org.generation5.bio.CellularAutomata
      org.generation5.demos.WireWorldCA

All Implemented Interfaces:

Steppable, Visualizable

public class WireWorldCA

extends CellularAutomata

This implements the simple cellular automata, Wire World. Wire World is an excellent sample CA since you can easily demonstrate its universal computing properties.
