CAMorph

 

Downloads  Download CAMorph v1.0 / Sun JDK/JRE v1.4.1 Status Panel Usage Run Status  Running or paused status. View Status  All Views / Focused View CA Type Status  Discrete Valued CA / Continuous Valued CA Cycle Status  Keeping track of CA cycle. Control Panel Usage Reseed Button  Reseed new random rules for 9 CA views. II / > Button  Pause / Play Rule Input Box  Discrete CA: Enter Integer number (e.g. 89) or Continuous CA: Inc/LW/RW (e.g. 0.005/1/1.001) Random Rule Button  Randomize the rules. All Views Button  Set action for all CA views. Color Menu  Color options for all CA views. Rainbow / HSB / Grayscale / Matrix / Candy Color States Menu  Number of states between 2 - 16 for discrete CA, and Continuous CA. Radius Menu  Number of radius between 1 - 3 for neighboring cells. Speed Slider  Adjust CA animation speed. Seed Menu  One Cell* / Random Cells* / Linear Cells / Sine Wave Cells : Diffusion : Wave Equation Mouse Click Controls Usage Left Click Once  Get focus for one particular CA view. Right Click Once  Mutate rule bit randomly for selected Discrete CA and mutate Inc for Continuous CA view. Left Double Click  Copy-mutate one CA view to other 8 CA views. Additional Notes Please download JDK/JRE v1.4.1 or higher for better applet performance. Discrete CA: Use pages 55, 56 from A New Kind of Science for rule reference. (*Only available for Discrete Valued CA) Continuous CA: Use pages 155 – 168, 243 to experiment different CA rules. Continuous CA use Rule: NewC = [(Left  Weight * L + C + Right Weight * R) / 3 + Inc] MOD 1 Tips for Wave Equation Pattern: Select Continuous CA from States Menu. Select Seed Menu for Diffusion. (This will smooth out the CA pattern) Select Seed Menu for Wave Equation. (For Sine Wave Pattern, select Sine Wave Cells, then select Wave Equation again) Change color options to see different color patterns.
