 # Cellular Automaton

 A cellular automaton defines a grid of cells and a set of rules.
 All cells then evolve their state depending on their neighbours state simultaneously.

+and/or Code that was desperately asking for some refactoring.
 
 So I started to write my own module with the goal to provide an user friendly API
 and acceptable documentation. During the implementation I figured, why not just provide 
 n dimensional support and with reading Clean Code from Robert C. Martin the urge
 to have a clean and tested code with a decent coverage added some more requirements.
 The speed optimization and multi process capability was more of challenge for myself.
-IMHO the module now reached an acceptable speed, but there is still room for improvements.

+## Getting Involved
+Feel free to open pull requests, send me feature requests or even join as developer.
+There ist still quite some work to do.

 ## Dependencies
 As mentioned above the module depends on [pygame](https://www.pygame.org/news) for visualisation.
 This is the only dependency however.
