A simplistic cellular automaton similuator used to implement the rules from Conway's Game Of Life.

Dependancies

• numpy - https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html
• Python 3+ (3.5.2 used during development) - https://www.python.org/downloads/
• Tkinter - https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html

Utilities

• Manual Tile Input - User tile selection via mouse input
• Random Selection - Alternative random selection based on probability (see frequency)
• Trail Tiles - Set tiles that were active last step as Red, to create a 'burning' effect
• Area Tiles - Set inactive tiles previously occupied at any point Blue, showing traversed areas (Note: this minorly reduces simulation tick speed)

Option Variables

• board_size - Size of rendering canvas (pixels)
• tile_size - Size of each tile (pixels) (Note: for optimal use, make sure board_size / tile_size is an integer resulting in a factor of board_size)
• interval - Temporal step value (default: 40 ms)
• frequency - the chance of generating a tile when using the Random Selection method (default 30, 30% active tile rate)
