Does anyone know of any Cellular Automaton books or articles for the absolute beginner, assuming they only know Trigonometry? I've built a http://ozramos.com/blog/first-try-terrajs but they're completely naive.

I have a week off before school starts and would love to spend it learning this stuff. Here are the sources I know about:
  1. A New Kind of Science
  2. http://uncomp.uwe.ac.uk/genaro/Cellular_Automata_Repository/Books.html, but it doesn't really help me with choosing one
  3. The Life Wiki
  4. Reddit
There's a lot of sources out there, but for someone with absolutely no training, it's a little intimidating!

Thanks I've added it to my list. I think I'm just going to start with A New Kind of Science and branch out from there. Thanks again!
