| 28 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 29 | A cellular automaton that is really a two-dimensional Turing machine: as |
|---|
| 30 | the heads ("ants") walk along the screen, they change pixel values in |
|---|
| 31 | their path. Then, as they pass over changed pixels, their behavior is |
|---|
| 32 | influenced. |
|---|
| 33 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
