Krazune's Cellular Automata Viewer is a viewer for a collection of 2d cellular automata, in which images are used as input.

Current version: 2021.12.1

KCAV identifier: life

Neighborhood type: Moore neighborhood

Rules available at wikipedia.

Black and white pixels are kept as is. Other colors are converted into the closest valid color.

One of the most popular cellular automata.

KCAV identifier: seeds

Neighborhood type: Moore neighborhood

Rules available at wikipedia.

Black and white pixels are kept as is. Other colors are converted into the closest valid color.

KCAV identifier: brians-brain

Neighborhood type: Moore neighborhood

Rules available at wikipedia.

Black, white and 100% blue pixels are kept as is. Other colors are converted into the closest valid color.

KCAV identifier: lfod

Neighborhood type: Moore neighborhood

Rules available at LifeWiki.

Black, and white pixels are kept as is. Other colors are converted into the closest valid color.

KCAV identifier: kladiators

Neighborhood type: Von Neumann neighborhood

Each pixel turns into the color of the neighbor pixel with the highest sum of r, g, and b channels. If multiple pixels have the same sum, priorities follow anti-clockwise direction.

No conversion needed.

KCAV identifier: pilots

Neighborhood type: 4 immediate neighbors

The following rules are normalized into cellular automata mechanics: red pixels move right, blue pixels move down, green pixels move left, and yellow pixels move up. When multiple colors hit the same cell, that cell turns black. All other cells are white.

Colors are converted into the closest valid color.
