The image to the right was not created using processing. However, it did serve as an inspiration for the latest in my series of natural-looking patterns made with cellular automata and Processing 0135.

My latest masterpiece is called "zebra" and I bet you'll never guess what it looks like. I changed the colors around from "goo" and added a further limit that each pixel can only swap with the pixel horizontally adjacent to itself. I didn't start from scratch, so it's possible there's still some green goo behavior lurking in there somewhere, but the code is included behind that link.

Without further ado, I present zebra. I lifted the zebra image from here on Wikipedia, and it's GFDL, so to be on the fair side, feel free to copy anything in this post under the same terms as that image. Thanks, Miraceti!
