PS. Im Going to use this to do some A-Life cellular automata stuff, has anyone else attempted this before using GEM or PDP?
GridFlow comes with two cellular automata examples, Both examples are based on GridFlow's powerful [@convolve] object.
I used to know how convolution works but Ive forgotten. Could you remind me? (by the way, GEM has a [pix_convolve] object as well)
If I remember correctly, convolution traverses a two-dimentional array of numbers, and multiplies thoes numbers and their adjacent values by some lesser dimentioned array...
...Im an artist/computer science major and I only remember this (proabably flawed) bit if information from a cognitive science class where they were using convolution as edge detection for robotic vision.
Again, Thanks for the help! -thewade
