Implementations of various cellular automatons, including Conway's Game of Life and a some of its variations, powered by JavaFX GUI.
Includes implementations of following automatons:
Simulation can be paused, resumed and reset at any time. Step-by-step simulation is also included. The grid can be interacted with using mouse, allowing activation of arbitrary cells, including random grid-fill. Automatons can be switched at any time while the simulation is paused.
- Java 21+
