MCL file extension - MCell cellular automaton data
What is mcl file? How to open mcl files?
File type specification:
The mcl file extension is associated with the MCell Cellular Automaton application.
MCL is a Cellular Automata file format introduced with MCLife 1.20, and continued in MCell. It's an ASCII format combining both Life 1.05 and RLE and introducing extensions necessary to store all MCell features.
This file type represents different colored squares on a grid that change according to specified rules. Also known as a Cellular Automaton or CA.

MCell is a 32-bit Windows program used to exploring existing and creating new rules and patterns of 1-D and 2-D Cellular Automata. MCell handles all popular formats of Cellular Automata patterns (Life 1.05, Life 1.06, RLE, dbLife, ProLife, XLife, MCLife, MCell and variations of the above), both from UNIX and DOS formats, what makes it a perfect tool for viewing large collections of Cellular Automata patterns available on the Internet.
