The ALPACA Meta-Language

Conceived and implemented by Chris Pressey

Description

ALPACA is a meta-language for describing cellular automata. It is an acronym for A Language for Programming Arbitrary Cellular Automata. This is not quite accurate, as the automata are not in fact arbitrary, but it's a nice acronym.

ALPACA is one of the few of my languages in which I've actually implemented other languages (or, well, cellular automata — close enough). These are, namely, REDGREEN, Braktif, Circute, and Jaccia and Jacciata.
