@inawhilecrocodile @ylegall This reminds me of some experiments I ran in high-school using a genetic algorithm to evolve cellular automata rule sets to generate maze-like patterns!

Stars Reach doesn’t look like you remember
I've been remiss in posting updates on Stars Reach here. I mean, the Kickstarter finished back in March (late pledges still accepted)! Today, though, I want to brag about our awesome AI and proc gen driven worlds.
Over the last few releases, we have been rolling out yet

Cellular automata follow a deterministic approach. What if we roll dice with a cellular automaton ?
Some new experiments with cellular automata and probability are now available.
Another week of experiments with cellular automata—who would have thought that adding color to those dull textbook examples could bring them to life and spark creativity?
Exploring “The Multiplicity Effect” in cellular automata!
My new experiments reveal what happens when we scale from classical one to 2, 3, 4, or 5 initial points across different grid positions. Rules creates particularly mesmerizing patterns when using multicolor palettes.
Exploring cellular automata with seeds in bottom quadrants has revealed some stunning results! Certain rules created mountain formations with beautiful reflection effects.
I am surprised how gradient colors transform these simple rules into dynamic landscapes.
Most textbook examples use somewhat boring monochrome visuals for Cellular Automata. In a series of posts, I’m exploring how to bring these lifelike systems to life through color. Here's the first one, where I experiment with color gradients to paint evolving landscapes.

I hope one day (after I finish my PhD) I'll manage to read many of the wonderful books by @allendowney I always start them an then get distracted :((((
Top of my list are
#RUG / a beautiful monster of 6000x9000
Maze solving and loop breaking with #CellularAutomata in #Python for the heck of it.
