Introduction

Growth

An important concept in tile based assembly is how an assembly grows. In this tutorial you will be introduced to examples of the two major growth classes: undirected and directed. For our undirected system we will create a single-tile that when placed in the simulation space will grow in a random and undirected fashion. In response to the cancerous-blob we've created we will then build several new tiles that will act as a fence to encapsulate the blob. The fence tiles will be an example of a directed system. They will only grow where and as far as we want them to.
