About the cellular automata!

The cellular automata here are specifically 3-state 1D cellular automata.
'3-state' means there are three states (colors) that each cell (pixel) can have.
'1D' means that the cells live on a one dimensional strip of space.
'Cellular automata' is the name for a system with cells that change over time according to rules.

It's like rule 30 but with 3 states instead of 2, which gives way for way more possibilites.
With 2 states (colors) there are only 256 possible rulesets. With 3 states there are a bit over 7½ trillion.
2 states ^ 3 neighbors = 8 rules. Of which each can have 2 states, 2 ^ 8 = 256.
3 states ^ 3 neighbors = 27 rules. Of which each can have 3 states, 3 ^ 27 = 7 625 597 484 987.

Also, the three neighbors for a cell is the one to the left of the cell, the cell, and the one to the right of it.
These three dictate what the cell will become later.

About the page.

- Why this color scheme?
The simple answer is that I like bread 🍞🍞🍞

- Was AI used?
No. I don't like AI.

- Is there more to come?
Most definitely. Look in the below section. Also might expand beyond just 3-state 1D cellular automata, since the name "Cellular Central" is very general.
Really just depends on what I happen to find interesting.

Plans for the future:

- Add all the cellular automata I've found thus far into the system.
- Allow the user to generate images locally with canvas, as to not clog bandwidth (considering as these images can get really big for a scale at which the interesting stuff start appearing)
- Build upon the canvas to let the user find/make their own cellular automata.
- Expand to not only cellular automata with a seed as the starting generation but with (set) random starts too.
- Canvases that scroll vertically (looping at the edges). I've found such quite satisfying to sit back and look at for a while.

About me.

I'm just a stochastic netizen that happened to stumble upon rule 30 somewhat recently (From this video. Great watch by the way!).
After learning about rule 30 my mind asked the question: "What about 3 colors?", and that got me very curious, and I had to explore.
And after having found some cool cellular automata, I've wanted to share my findings! Moreso when I see online that exploration on 3-state 1D cellular automata is very sparse.
