file extension CAR - Cellsprings/Web or DT rule file
File extension CAR description:
Rules in Cellsprings' built-in rulespaces are encoded using the CAR (for 'CA Rule') file format. (Note that seed states are encoded separately as standard GIF files.) CAR is a simple binary format I developed several years ago for my own use. Owing to its humble and distant origins, the current spec is not without its anachronistic adhocisms, but there is one thing it offers to the CA programming community of which I've yet to see the equivalent, viz., a flexible yet standard means of encoding exhaustive rule tables. Such tables are now in use in popular programs, and specialized search/editor programs are likely to appear soon to navigate such data. Thus there is an increasingly acute need for a common file format, and CAR might at least provide a starting point for one.

Cellsprings/Web is a general 2D cellular automaton explorer implemented as a Java 1.1 applet. I've styled it an "emergetarium", because its special mission in life is to showcase the astonishing generative capacity of many simple CAs. Thus the applet favors CA rules that make the most of random and/or simple beginnings, and some of its rule presets - many discovered just within the past year - are real rags-to-riches stars. But Cellsprings/Web users are not confined to the installed rules and seeds - they can create and save such data to the server for all to access. So the applet is an emergetarium in a double sense.
