2.4 Langton Loops Applet

A Java Applet that emulates Langton's Loops is created as part of this project.



The applet is very simple, having only two buttons. The applet begins with a single loop that will regenerate itself into a population of loops.


Pause: Starts the regeneration animation and stops it if it is pushed again.

Step: Moves the system forward one step at a time.
