First, AWESOME program.
Second, Some form of vector based output (.ai, .eps, .pdf) would make it infinitely more awesome...
resolution independent images are so much more versitile. : )

I totally agree on first assertion
, and second request
Of course some limit has to be expressed, so that evaluation of tiny rules can be stopped, just as in pixel rendering.
Three methods ?
- maximum shape count
- iteration count (to be compared with the
step mode request)
- ratio between widest and tiniest shape radius (eg stop at 1/10^6)
On the iteration count topic, let me recommend you the Game of Life program named
LifeLab. Their Control menu is very well designed.

I thing it should work the same way as the real program: shapes/rules smaller than a certain franction of the "world" are dropped.
