Contents

patterns directory containing cellular automata pattern file collections.

The contents can be either directory objects or strings which are the filenames.

For example:
``
[

"conwaylife": [
"101.rle",
"104p177.rle",
...
]
},
{
"othercollection": [
"pattern1.rle",
"pattern2.rle",
...
]
}
]
