This application simulates 2D cellular automata, the world of Wator, colliding 2D galaxies or calculates z^2- and z^4-Mandelbrot sets. All simulations are animated (refresh rate 1 to 200 fps) and multi-threaded and an inspector displays the average speed of calculations and drawing. Furthermore the world of Wator includes graphical statistics.

Please note that this application is more or less useless - it's very fast and nice to look at. That's all.

What's New:
Initial number of fish and sharks can be set (see preferences)
Improved algorithm of fish/shark-replication
Simulation of galaxies optimized (about 2 times faster)
More impressive default-setting of galaxy-simulation (3 galaxies, 5 stars, black holes activated) and new default-setting of Wator-simulation (1/500/2/100/3/100)
MIS (Mega Iterations per Second) to inspector added
More accurate MFLOPS-calculation (z^4-Mandelbrot)
Minor user-interface improvements (e.g. transparency renamed to opacity and revised menus)
Less memory usage
Some bugs fixed.
