s10e02 Cellular Automata – The Good Robot Andys

Listen Later

A tech takeover this week with special guest Fran Buontempo talking about Cellular Automata – a cool techie toy for exploring the links between computation, complexity and life, or at the very least a sort-of interesting way of generating some moving patterns.

Those promised links:

  • How to code your way out of a paper bag – Fran’s book on all kinds of AI stuff
  • Cellular automaton on Wikipedia. Also check out Conway’s Game of Life.
  • Cellular Automata at Stanford – very in-depth CA info
  • Wolfram’s Cellular Automata page – nice diagrams of 1-d CAs
  • Interactive Conway’s Game of Life – Andy B’s smolpxl game
  • Crowd Your Way Out of a Paper Bag – video of Fran’s recent talk on this stuff
