The road ahead

I thought it will be very useful to give a better overview of the current development tasks (and challenges) for the near future. The diagram hopefully visualizes this current state quite well and this mega post discusses the most important points in more detail.

Tutorials galore

The ongoing lack of tutorials is still one of the most pressing issues to resolve for me & everyone else using (or trying to use) these libraries.

The first part of this series dealt with Diffusion-limited Aggregation (DLA) and this next process too is related to the simulated diffusion of particles.
