Elementary Cellular Automata Viewer

View elementary cellular automata in a GUI window with UI for parameters and tuning.

There are two rendering options:

• RGB 888: Each pixel is 24 bits (8 bits for each of the red, green, and blue components) where each bit is a cell. The least significant bit of the red component of the first (leftmost) pixel is the first cell.
• Grayscale 8: Each pixel is an 8-bit grayscale value.

The first row of pixels is the initial state. Each row below is the next iteration of the row above it.

Dependencies:

• C++98
• Fast Light Toolkit (FLTK) v1.3.5

Feel free to open an issue to ask a question.
