The Cellular Automata Simulation System

The Cellular Automata Simulation System consists of a compiler for the Cellang cellular automata programming language, along with the corresponding documentation, viewer, and various tools. The most important distinguishing features of Cellang, include support for:

  • any number of dimensions;
  • compile time specification of each dimension's size;
  • cell neighborhoods of any size (though bounded at compile time) and shape;
  • positional and time dependent neighborhoods;
  • associating multiple values (fields), including arrays, with each cell;
  • associating a potentially unbounded number of mobile agents
  • local interactions only, since it is impossible to construct automata that contain any global control or references to global variables.
