Cellular Automata

My goal with this project is explore the world of cellular automata while also getting some practice with python. I am primarily a MATLAB user so I want to spend some time getting familiar with python on a basic set of problems. Cellular automata provide a great opportunity for this because they are just a simple set of rules that are iterated upon to create interesting patterns. I plan to begin with basic 1D cellular automata and then progress to more interesting problems.
