This app generates knitting patterns based on cellular automata rules.
The main purpose of this app is to generate a 2-color scarf knitting pattern from a mathematical model. Users are able to change the rule, colors, and the dimensions and see the scarf change immediately. Users are able to save their creations and revisit them later by signing in with a username and password. The mathematical model used was developed by Steven Wolfram in the '80s. It describes one-dimensional cellular automata. The rules governing the creation of these cellular automata are very simple. A cell can be in one of two states: "on" or "off" (represented by two different colors). Whether the cell will be "on" or "off" depends on its current state and the state of the cell to the right of it and the state of the cell to the left of it. A new row of cells is created like this. So, for the scarf, the color of each stitch depends on the color of each of the three stitches in the previous row that are most adjacent to the stitch. This mathematical model is demonstrates that simple rules can produce complex and random patterns.
