Does anyone have any information on Object Oriented Cellular Automata? There is a demo program on the NeXT called Automata (I think) but no source code. I would appreciate any information regarding code, articles, or books. Thanks. Peter Kocks kocks@jessica.stanford.edu

I have it at home, so I can't give you the authors or anything... It's pretty neat. As far as 'object-oriented' cellular automata, the automata in this book are so low level (hardware) that doing OO automata would be a waste of time -- better to use bitfields and a big array. -- Bill burdick@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
