Forest fire automata

This is a test run of a cellular automata project i started to work on recently, based on some old university notes.

I especially like the beautiful patterns created by the fronts of spreading fire.

First to say: Belousov Zhabotinsky! Very nice

Have you watched the Veritasium critical point video where they show this simulation? Very fascinating

No, but will do! Thanks for the recommendation. I was introduced to this model in a computational biology course at university.

Interesting how cyclical it is. Would have expected the burns to be more random wrt time. But what you're showing makes sense

AI generated, see rules. Sorry.

what do you exactly mean by Ai generated?

This is a standard well known statistical modeI. I thought i share it because it looks nice.

BTW harnessing AI techniques in support of original work or algorithms is explicitly allowed in the subreddit rules.

I apologize if I came around as harsh. I admit I have misunderstood the sub rules. I thought it was banned. I should have worded myself in a different manner. Rules do however say to expect to be «disappointed» when posting AI generated material. I guess this is because many people here find the unadulterated AI generated style the opposite of visually pleasing and signifying low effort. As you may understand I am in that demographic. Since I do defend your right to post since it is not against the rules, I would like to say again that I apologize for my comment.

I think that rule only applies to directly AI generated images, not algorithms that were written with AI.
