Cell Matrix Simulator with Graphical Front-end for
Windows
|
Version 2.0 of the Cell Matrix Simulator™ (for PCs running Windows NT, 98, 95, or 3.1) is available for download.
With this software you can work with a small two-dimensional matrix of four-sided cells. The Simulator allows you to examine and modify any cell's truth table, to see the inputs and outputs to all cells, and to modify the inputs to any border cells. You can also control the system-wide clock, stopping, single-stepping, or free-running it.
This simulator can be quite powerful: it has been used to develop Cell Matrix configurations as large as 400x800. However, it is not by itself a complete development system. It is most useful as a learning tool, to explore the concepts of the Cell Matrix in a hands-on fashion.
