(CAM) Fifth

The following is a Cellular Automata Machine (CAM) library loosely based off the CAM Forth language as described in "Cellular Automata Machines" by Toffoli and Margolus. I wanted to be able to follow along in the book but, though mentioned as reasonably priced, a CAM Forth machine is out of my price range.

The following uses numpy/matplotlib underneath, and will ideally incorporate the following:

Arbitrary description of neighborhoods
Arbitrary leveling of bit planes
Arbitrary description of rulesets
2D and 3D cellular automata
Timing specifications for granular viewing
Echoing and Tracing (for 2D)
