A cellular automaton is a model of computation. It can be used for different purposes, but in this workshop we'll exclusively use it to make nice-looking two-dimensional graphics.

Conway's Game of Life is arguably the best-known 2D cellular automaton, but there are no limits to what other cellular automata we can come up with.

I'll show you how to use my graffito library, which can make these kinds of graphics programs run efficiently on GPUs and multicores through the use of … Read more
