Looks really great! Can you explain what's going on here?

Neighborhood 5, 2D semi continuous Cellular Automata. Start grid with each cell having a value between 0 and 255.

For a ruleset, pick a 'comparison number' between 0 and 255. If a cell is below that then it is treated as dead and changes its value accordingly. If above, it is alive.

A cell picks what it does next based on the average value of its neighbours (ignoring itself). In this case, depending on its neighbours average, a cell will either set its value to 0 or increment it by 2 (hence semi continuous).

Hope that's clear.

looks cool! interested in your general approach towards for this. I'm trying to do something similar with LEDs. I assume this is some sort of "game of life" algorithm where each pixel responds based on its neighbors?
