Automata Explorer

Automata Explorer was a weekend project of mine after a brief but passionate interest in cellular automata back in 2003. This project should therefore not be looked at as an example of my most recent (or best) work. Nevertheless, I am preserving it here on Github for historical interest and pure vanity!

These days, if you're interested in a much, much better Cellular Automata explorer, I would recommend Golly (http://golly.sourceforge.net/)

Building Automata

Automata uses Maven to build :

% mvn package

Building on OS X

On OS X, this project includes an ICNS resource and defines packaging variables so that the native bundler will generate a disk image installer. To make this work, you'll want to define the property jfxapp.mac.signing-key either in pom.xml or in your settings.xml. To get a signing key, you'll need to register an Apple ID as an Apple developer.
