CAs: Adding interactive functions via HTML buttons

[bramvandijk88]

Heya,

Using terra.js, I just made a simple predator prey CA that results in traveling/chaotic waves:

I'm looking to extend this by allowing interactive functions, such as killing some prey, killing some predators, restarting, etc. The default terrarium functions .animate() and .stop() function propperly. How can I add new functions to this terrarium?

I tried figuring out how to do this in the terra.js module, which sort of worked, but I'm looking for advice on how to do this "neatly" in javascript.

UPDATE: i've mostly overwritten the old version, so most of the functionality I discuss here is now implemented.
