WireWorld-JS

A JavaScript/HTML5 Implementation of the WireWorld Cellular Automata

This is very much a work in progress. Some of the code is messy and/or undocumented at this time. I've tested this in Google Chrome but it should work in all major browsers.

Rules of the Cellular Automata:

• Empty cell => Empty cell
• Wire head => Wire tail
• Wire tail => Conductor
• Conductor => Wire head if exactly 1 or 2 neighbors (including diagonals!) are wire head

These rules are applied to each cell in the world on each step.

Controls:

• Left click to change a cell
• Q changes your cell-type to Empty
• W changes your cell-type to Conductor
• E changes your cell-type to Wire head
• R changes your cell-type to Wire tail
