after reading Andrew Healey's blog post about Langton's Ant, 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. 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.
