Ruleset 89

Projects: 
If you apply Ruleset 89 to a lattice that has the center bit turned on, two different slopes appear within the same results. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. For the lazy or rushed, this will produce it: % python >>> from pyrobot.general.ca import * >>> rules = Rules(radius=1) >>> rules.init(89) >>> lat = Lattice(500) >>> lat.init("0" * lat.size) >>> lat.data[0][lat.size / 2] = 1 >>> rules.watch(lat)
