Cellular Automata implementation

Does anybody know how to implement cellular automata in开发者_如何学运维 Java or C#?

I have write a Pseudo-Code implementation that you can use to write a .NET implementation:

function automate(cells,bornlist,survivelist,iterations)
{
    loop(iterations)
    {
        loop(row < height)
        {
            loop(collumn < width)
            {
                if(is edge)
                {
                    alive = true
                }
                else
                {
                    num = add states of all cells around the outside (if in 3d     include above and below and use less iterations)
                    state = cells[row,collumn]
                    alive = (state = 0 and bornlist.contains(num)) or (state = 1     and survivelist.contains(num))
                }

                cells[row,collumn] = alive ? 1 : 0
            }
        }
    }
}

This relies on the fact that the cells have already been initialised with a random value by a noise generator such a Simplex or Perlin noise.
