Welcome to the sq3 website. To say hi, send an email to [tim.hutton@gmail.com].
News:
- Currently working for Microsoft Research in Cambridge UK on machine learning and computer vision.
- Having got interested in reaction-diffusion systems I've been finding a lack of source code for running them, so I've started the [Ready project]. Below are two renders of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model in 3D, with the 'tip-splitting' parameters.
- The [Rule Table Repository] continues to grow. We need to think carefully about the rule table format, to avoid hitting problems later.
- Golly is an amazing program. I've managed to implement Codd's fabled self-replicating machine and get it to work. Details and downloads here: [1]
- I've put a bit of work into a demonstration implementation of lattice gas automata, for fluid simulations in a CA. See the [Lattice Gas Explorer], and here's an image:
- von Neumann's self-reproducing machines have become a reality, thanks to the Golly people porting them to the hashlife algorithm. I've put a new page here: [2].

Here are some open-source projects I've started:
| [Ready] | A cross-platform implementation of a wide variety of reaction-diffusion systems. |
| [Lattice Gas Explorer] | A cross-platform simulator for lattice gases, with an emphasis on being a tutorial for learning about them, and about their implementation. |
| [Slinker] | A cross-platform Slitherlink puzzle generator and analysis engine. I haven't touched this for a while. I get my slitherlink fix from [Kwon-Tom Loop]. |
| [Organic Builder] | A fun applet that lets you explore the rules of artificial chemistries, and challenges your skills at organic programming. On the back burner at the moment. |
| [Organic Builder in Flash] | A port of OB to flash applets. I really should work on this. |
| [PowerCrust] | My VTK port of the powercrust algorithm. |
Here are some open-source projects I've made contributions to:
| [Golly] | Cellular automata. Astonishingly quick in some cases because it uses the hashlife algorithm. |
| [VTK] | The visualisation toolkit is a cross-platform cross-language library for 3d rendering and visualisation and mesh processing. Has some interesting algorithms. |
