From a pile of shit, new life grows. Conway's Game of Life running independently in the 3 colour channels in 64x64 cells with wrap-around topology.

Not much new code here, just added image loading capability to my old pile-up demo of 2D cellular automata.

A basic algorithm for a basic guy: find the edge points in the binary image and change their colour to that of the target image. Rinse and repeat until the edge no longer moves.

Rule/Yule 30 cellular automaton with a "band-pass" filter every few iterations. Done in the Bash shell using bitwise math, so each row/state is a single number of 63 bits.

Crowd: Can anyone tell me the number of rules / transistional functions the classical von-Neuman cellular automaton has?

Remember when I mentioned we had ported our #fire propagation #cellularAutomaton from #Python to #Julia, gaining performance and the ability to parallelize more easily and efficiently?

A couple of days ago we had to run another big batch of simulations and while things progressed well at the beginning, we saw the parallel threads apparently hanging one by one until the whole process sat there doing who know what.

Our initial suspicion was that we had come across some weird #JuliaLang issue with #multithreading, which seemed to be confirmed by some posts we found on the Julia forums. We tried the workarounds suggested there, to no avail. We tried a different number of threads, and this led to the hang occurring after a different percent completion. We tried restarting the simulations skipping the ones already done. It always got stuck at the same place (for the same number of threads).

So, what was the problem?

1/n

Idea: A 1d Cellular Automaton that can create new cells. (Not turn them on, create them).
