Nintendo DS homebrew developer asiekierka has released a new build for WireWorld, a DS version of the classic cellular automation program that simulates logic gates.

Programmers, in particular, might take an interest in this application. WireWorld basically reconstructs the logic pattern of commands such as AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and so on. Here are the rules of the program:

WireWorld has 4 states:

* space - represented by black
* wire - represented by gold
* spark - represented by red
* tail - represented by blue

Rules:

* Spark changes to tail.
* Tail changes to wire.
* Wire changes to spark if it's surrounded by 1 or 2 sparks.

Now in version 0.6, WireWorld DS has several new features, optimizations, and bug fixes. Here is the changelog since version 0.4:
