Very nice version!
It is good that it does not require extra files to work.

I liked it so much that I made a modification of it.
I added more colors, render quality and retry button.

Nice update, showing some new features in SB as well.
However, the bigger amount of colors introduces so much randomnes in the mechanism, that the graphics tend to a uniform, amorph structure, be it with different colors. There are hardly any interesting structures produced
This was aready mentioned in the original article in the Byte magazine from 1988 or so... . 4 colors (statusses) seemed to be some kind of an optimum. Making the number of colors variable could help to show that effect.
