Cellular Automata Sim v0.2

Been too long since I last posted an update here. Progress on the user interface for the Cellular Automata Sim has been fantastic :D Been a whole lot of fun to prototype the layout and then implement it in code. It now does so many neat things I feel a UI should be capable of; zooming, panning, fit to screen. Hell I even got a fullscreen button in there.

Javascript Cellular Automata Editor

After spending time learning to save and load text then images I have now moved onto creating save files for more complex objects. This program allows you to create schematics for a kind of Cellular Automata which follows rules similar to logic gates. The rules are a mix of the Von Neumann cellular automata I was experimenting with previously and some of the thoughts I had after playing the excellent Infinifactory.

Sorry that the program is light on instructions, you can select tools from the top menu:

Prototype Character Generator

Been chatting to a friend of mine about procedural content generation in games, got to talking about creating characters in such a manner for Dungeons and Dragons. The idea would be to play the role of the leader of an adventuring guild sending parties of random adventurers into similarly random dungeons :)

I do so enjoy creating procedural programs so I said I'd be happy to help out. We'll probably explore this idea in a pen and paper format but I went and coded a prototype of a browser-based character generator. The results are very simplistic but its oddly compelling to see what the program will produce.

If you come across an amusing combination do let me know!
