The following uses numpy/matplotlib underneath, and incorporates:
* N-Dimensional Cellular Automata
* Arbitrary count of bit planes and description of neighborhoods
* Timing specifications and control for granular viewing
Furthermore, we would like to eventually incorporate:
* ECHOing and TRACing in library for 2D CAMs
Documentation will be made available at fuzzykayak.com/... but a quickstart will be provided below.
