Cave Generation using Cellular Automata

With use of the AI process called Cellular Automata to generate 2D cave like maps with customizable options to adjust the rules relating to the generation.

Cellular Automata a process in which cells can react to their surrounding neighbor cells and update their current state depending on set rules. These cell states can vary between projects however the states used are Stone, Air (or Empty) and Gold. The rules define how a cell reacts to the surrounding 8 cells (or neighbours), as if an air cell is surrounded by Stone cells then this will change into a stone cell. The project has been enabled to allow for exposed variables relating to these rules to allow for a user to manually adjust them in order to experiment with the generation of the map layout.
