AutomtaJS is a web application for exploring 2D cellular automata. Differently from most cellular automata implementations, AutomataJS uses ThreeJS and glsl in order to parallalize the computation of each pixel state via shaders.
AutomataJS allows users to change the color, size and type of the automata, moreover all these parameters can be modified while the automata is running thus creating weird and unpredictable results.

- Add possibility to define custom automaton, for instance by editing a shader file using the Monaco Editor
- Make the application mobile friendly.
- Manage resize of window.
