autom: Generates and displays patterns from next nearest neighbors cellular automata

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

[maintain] [Publish]

This library is essentially a reimplementation of the pattern generation algorithm described in Wentlian Li's 1998 article COMPLEX PATTERNS GENERATED BY NEXT NEAREST NEIGHBORDS CELLULAR AUTONOMA (Choas and Fractals: A Computer Graphical Journey). This algorithm allows one to generate an amazing pattern (sometimes with fractal characteristics) by simply specifying a 32-bit integer. Please visit the project homepage for more information along with example images.

README for autom package

DEBIAN JESSIE

These build instructions work on Debian Jessie:

sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install libghc-vector-dev libghc-gloss-dev libghc-random-dev libghc-juicypixels-dev libghc-colour-dev
cabal update
cabal install autom

I believe this should also work on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
