A cellular automaton is a grid of cells. In a CA, each cell(square in the grid) has 8 neighbors - the 8 cells surrounding a single cell. Manipulations to the grid are made based on the amount of neighbors a cell has.
HOW TO USE THE RULEBOX
The rulebox(bottom-left corner) takes input in "s/b" format. Numbers to the left of the "/" are the amount of neighbors a live cell must have to survive. Numbers to the right of the "/" represent the amount of neighbors a dead cell must have to become alive. Type in new rules and press enter.
