Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.

At each step, the color of each cell is determined by taking the average of the cell and its two neighbors, then adding a constant, but wrapping around if the result is greater than one. For small values of the constant, this can be used as a simple model of boiling.
