Physicsmata is an API for all possible cellular automata that work the same at all angles. It is similar in effect to SmoothLife but simpler and pure Java. The cellular automata API takes a function to run at each point. Its parameters are sums of screen brightness (n color dimensions are optional) at concentric circles around each point, efficiently costing only the perimeter of those circles (instead of the area) because of the tree of squares. You can create any function, or to get started, you can try the visual function editor.
