Description
A cellular automaton for Minetest. When you join you will be given an infinite stack of blocks of a specific color and a wand. Place the blocks in the pattern you like and left click with the wand to trigger a step for the cellular automaton. If multiple players join, they will each be given blocks of a unique color and each player's wand will only affect their blocks. The default automaton is Life 4555 (Google), but it can easily be configured to use any wxyz rule. In particular, I recommend reading Bays' original paper on the topic here. I hope someone has as much fun with this as I have been :)
There are two admin commands to help you find interesting structures:
/randomize [<threshold>] Randomizes the arena. Each node has a probability of being occupied of <threshold> (0.1 by default)
/clear Clears the arena.
