Vacuole emerged from a cellular automaton sketch to which I come back from time to time to experiment with different rules and mechanisms.

To celebrate #fxhashturnsone, I wanted to look for alternative forms than the classical top-to-bottom/bottow-to-top scanline growing behaviour. Vocuole instead uses a grid of fields, where each field is initialized with different rules, growing directions and settings. The system combines two different variations: classical elementary cellular automata rules and a copy-pixel/plasma rule, which takes pixels from the neighborhood with a noise-controled offset like a stamp.
