after reading [Andrew Healey's blog post about Langton's Ant](https://healeycodes.com/virtual-ants), i found myself inspired to reimplement some of his work. i've read numerous rave reviews of löve2d for writing simple toys, so i decided to give that a shot here as well. Langton's Ant went well enough that i also implemented Life and Wireworld.
[check the toys out here; there are instructions for running with löve2d directly or using nix](https://git.mat.services/mat/love-cellular-automata). the code is hosted on a personal instance of gitea, so if you want to collaborate or share feedback, you'll have to request an account or shoot me an email.
