A few weeks ago I read an article in Stephen Wolframs blog about a train station being covered in a pattern generated with an elementary cell automaton. This got me interested in the topic and as I am currently learning Haskell it came to my mind that this would make for a great learning playground.
You can find some sample images of the automatons after N generations in the images/N/ directories.
As mentioned I am using this project to pick up some Haskell and to play around a little.
I am using cabal to build the project. It also handles the dependencies nicely.
If you are using cabal you can use the following to generate images of all 255 rules for this simple automatons after 100 generations. They will be output to images/100
cabal run -- 100
