Two little programs that implement the rules of Conway's Game of Life. The one that is plainly labeled "Cellular Automaton" is the basic version. The one labeled "Cellular Automaton Abiogenesis" has a feature written into it to save after a certain number of iterations, it is meant to be used for simulations with a high number of iterations and/or a big area.
The programs are written in Java, the outputs are in text format. They can be visualized by, for example, importing them as a "text image" into ImageJ.
Some pre-generated texfiles can be found in the RAR-files as examples.
