You might want to try https://www.wolfram.com/language/. This could work
since the “programming” needed is minima (given that you have the
interpretating program). See also
https://www.wolfram.com/language/11/new-visualization-domains/plot-cellular-automata.html.
There seem to be free versions of some of the programs and, if not,
there are usually student prices.
A totally off-thread anecdote. At some academic conference where both
Wolfram and we were exhibiting, the Wolfram exhibit featured his new
(then) book, ‘A New Kind of Science’, very hefty at something like
1000 pages, and attractive graphics on the cover. I went up to their
booth to thumb through the book. Every page was blank. I hear it
eventually got fleshed out.

Hey, Ed,
Perhaps you are the person to answer this question: I have snared
both of my grandchildren in CA #30, the -son because he is interested
in pattern formation in regenerating planaria and the -daughter
because she likes really neat stuff. I would like to give them simple
programs so they could generate any one of the 256 rules and see the
consequences of them. I thought I would find several readily at
hand, but what I did was a serious of sites which schooled me to write
such a program myself. I am too old for that. Do you know of any I
could email to my -children? It is the first time in years that I
have actually caught their fancy with something, so it would really
make me happy.
Thanks,
Nick

In an affine space (vector space + point), an ant’s position is a
point and a path or trail can be described by vectors.

Focusing the application of ant foraging, what is the scalar product
of an ant? What is the sum of two ants. Same questions for pheromone
trails. If the answer is that scalar product and sum are not general
enough. What are the homomorphisms of ants and pheromone trails?

I want to clarify what a dual space is. I think it is much more
general
than Frank thinks it is:
