Wolfram Cellular Automata by Daniel Shiffman. Simple demonstration of a Wolfram 1-dimensional cellular automata When the system reaches bottom of the window, it restarts with a new ruleset Mouse click restarts as well.

  
   
  CA ca;   // An instance object to describe the Wolfram basic Cellular Automata
  
  void setup() {
    size(640, 360, P2D);
    frameRate(30);
    background(0);
    int[] ruleset = {0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0};    // An initial rule system
    ca = new CA(ruleset);                 // Initialize CA
  }
  
  void draw() {
    ca.render();    // Draw the CA
    ca.generate();  // Generate the next level
    
    if (ca.finished()) {   // If we're done, clear the screen, pick a new ruleset and restart
      background(0);
      ca.randomize();
      ca.restart();
    }
  }
  
  void mousePressed() {
    background(0);
    ca.randomize();
    ca.restart();
  }
