CA and GoL editor/creator on iPad

Post by Adaax »

Hello all,

I'm obviously new here, but I've been into CA design for a lot of years now. Recently I managed to develop an iPad app called "Cell Blast" that simulates GoL, and also allows you to create your own automata with up to 6 states (5 coloured tokens, plus the empty cell).

For each state you can create up to three conditional statements. In each statement you can examine the n=1 Moore neighbourhood around each cell, and run various actions (spawn, die, eat) based on the results.

It's not as complex as the desktop tools you use here by any means, but I wanted to make it as GUI and accessible as possible.

Here is a Youtube clip of Cell Blast in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcJhPhw-Eio
And here is a direct link to the iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cell-bla ... ?ls=1&mt=8

I'm charging $0.99, but this is in the hopes that I can make a little money for my daughter's college fund. I'm not trying to be greedy or strike it rich.

Anyway, I just wanted to pass that along. Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome!

Cheers,
Matt

Wow, great job! Finally a good CA application for the iOS, the coding system is very smart and easy to understand.
