Simulator of cellular automata on regular hyperbolic plane tilings, working in browser.

See it online

For usage details, see help page

Key features are:

• Support of arbitrary regular tilings.
• Unlimited world size

Building

Build requirements are: Node.JS, NPM, GNU Make. Install NPM modules: coffee-script, browserify, coffeeify.

$ make test

Requirements

Works in any contemporary browser: Firefox, Chromium. Probably, works in the latest IE.
