I think the example in the demo directory comes from a book called (coincidentally)
_Cellular_Automata_.  I have it at home, so I can't give you the authors or
anything...  It's pretty neat.  As far as 'object-oriented' cellular automata,
the automata in this book are so low level (hardware) that doing OO automata
would be a waste of time -- better to use bitfields and a big array.
