Elementary cellular automata
Eight bits of
rule. One shirt.
An elementary cellular automaton is three cells of input, one cell of output, and an eight-bit number that decides between them. That is the entire specification. Run it for a few hundred generations and it produces fractals, gliders, traffic jams and certified randomness — none of which anybody put there.
We render them at print resolution and put them on Gildan 64000 shirts. From $38.00.

Every rule. Every seed.
Move one slider for the rule, type six hex characters for the seed, and you have a design that almost certainly nobody has ever worn. We render it live, warn you if it dies out or fills in solid, and print exactly what you approved.
