Celluverse is a cellular automata sandbox.

Imagine a universe made of boxes. Each box follows  a set of rules depending on its color. Despite seemingly simple rules, extraordinary machines have been built within cellular automata systems.

Celluverse currently contains two popular rule sets:

1. Conway's Game of Life.

Game of Life is a sort of simplified biological cell simulator. Every cell in Life is either "alive" or "dead". There are 3 rules for these cells.

- Living cells die by loneliness if there are 1 or less living neighbors.

- Living cells die by overcrowding if there are 4 or more living neighbors

- Dead cells come to life if there are exactly 3 living neighbors

From these simple rules emerge great complexity. Full computers have been built within the Game of Life

2. Wireworld

Wireworld is a simplified electronic simulator, which is convenient for designing digital circuits. Every cell is one of 4 states: (empty, electron head, electron tail, or wire). Electrons flow through conductors in the direction of the electron head.

There are 3 rules again:

- The electron head turns into a tail

- The tail turns into a wire

- A wire becomes an electron head only if there are exactly 1 or 2 nearby electron heads.

3. Your own rules?

An upcoming version of the game will support creating your own rules, to build your own universe and explore the possibilities.
