A downloadable automata for Windows, macOS, and Linux

With this project, you can easily make your own custom automaton! In fact, it's so easy that any random Joe could make one! 

This is essentially Conway's Game of Life but you can change the rules on how cells behave to create unique interactions and interesting combinations. The program has a custom UI,  adaptive music, and is very customizable. We are excited to see what beautiful and complex designs the community can make with this!

If are hesitant on downloading anything the project; here are two browser-based projects and one app that allow essentially the same thing:
