Golly is a free game-of-life program you can play with:

There's an active community searching-for/categorizing/discussing patterns in Conway's game-of-life (GOL) (and other cellular automata). Examples:

I know about GOL and other simple automata, I'm mostly curious about applications in image processing.

Here's a classic article that blurs the lines between image processing and automata. Very sad that it seems offline today.

Thanks for this. I have been playing with CAs recently[1], and doing a lot of GIF rendering based on the Game of Life rules. This water rendering algorithm seems like a great next step for me to experiment with.
