CAGE is a fairy generic and complete cellular automaton simulation
engine in Python. It supports both 1D and 2D automata, a variety
of prepackaged rules, and the concept of "agents" which can move
about independently on the map for implementing agent behavior.
CAGE comes with numerous examples of fully-functional CA systems,
including Conway's Game of Life, Langton's self-reproducing
automaton, Langton's "vants," and 1D automata rule explorers. It
also comes with simple displayers (including a curses interface
for 2D automata). Also included is a unique implementation of a
finite state machine (ant.py).
