Media Algaerhythms on Singlecell.org AMODA Events Inside The Display: Mar 12th, 2002 Algaerhythms Algaerhythms are based on a simple two dimensional two state Cellular Automata. Each cell looks at all eight of it's immediate neighbours to see whether they are alive or dead. The levels of over crowding or isolation that it can endure and how many neighbours it needs to be re-born depend upon the rules set by the user in the top right hand corner. The classic 'Game Of Life' rule settings are 3,2,3. More than three live neighbours or less than two and the cell dies. With two or three live neighbours the cell remains in it's present state. If the cell is currently dead and has exactly two live neighbours it will be reborn. This and 3,2,2 normally produce the most engaging and complex emergent patterns but it is worth trying different settings for different patterns. To birth a live cell position the cursor over a dead cell and click the mouse button. It is best to pause or slowdown the playback first or the cell can die too quickly for you to notice.
