FrankenCA
Nineteen cellular automata
Free
Explore nineteen continuous, geometric, transport, spin, and quantum-inspired automata with native Metal graphics, full controls, and a rendered theory atlas.
Touch a living lattice and watch local rules become motion, structure, transport, and surprise.
FrankenCA contains nineteen cellular-automata systems rendered through a native Metal pipeline. Move quickly between automata, run them full screen, reseed or mutate a field, and open the full lab when you want direct control over the active system.
The collection spans continuous morphogenesis, transport, topology, spin systems, geometry, bifurcations, and quantum-inspired dynamics. Each automaton has its own visual language and parameter set instead of sharing a cosmetic preset.
The native theory atlas explains the governing state, update rule, and important parameters with proper mathematical notation, diagrams, tables, and process views. The equations and simulations are bundled with the app and remain available offline.
FrankenCA has no account, advertising, tracking, web view, or cloud computation. Simulation state and gestures stay on the device.
