As for Life and Wireworld, I've put this in the Games category; but I think it could be better to add a new category like "Cellular automata" and put those tasks in that category (too, and secondary in Games, if one thinks about them as games). --ShinTakezou 17:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

They are certainly games. Mathematical games. --Paddy3118 21:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I in general agree, but they are different by Bulls and cows, Go Fish, Minesweeper game, ... Maybe as tasks in this category grow in number, it could become useful to give a more "precise" cathegorization. --ShinTakezou 06:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
I think we usually call those Puzzles on RC. --76.236.174.54 21:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
By all means! I'm just fine with MW categories being used as tags. We may need to be a bit selective in which we make direct subcategories of Category:Solutions_by_Programming_Task, though. --76.236.174.54 21:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Usually CA fall under modeling formalisms and running them is essentially simulation. It would fit in the same category like Monte Carlo Simulation, actually. —Johannes Rössel 10:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
