Presentation

FiatLux is a cellular automata simulator ; it is oriented towards the study of the robustness of the models. For example, it allows users to test easily how a model behaves with an asynchronous updating of the cells. It also implements different variations on the classical CA models such as stochastic models, lattice-gas cellular automata, interacting particle systems and reactive multi-agent systems.
