I love playing around with cellular automata for doing art. It's amazing what kind of patterns can emerge (example: https://gods.art/math_videos/hex_func27l_21.html ). I may have to try to play with these DLCA.

Awesome. I love desmos. I just used it yesterday for a Wave mathematics class I taught for a homeschool group. I also wrote a math graphing program that helps make math beautiful called [Truthy Graph]( https://truthygraph.github.i
