Cellular automata and image manipulation

[defcon8]

Sorry this is the latest, the previous didn't work so well:

import Image
x = []
buff = []

buff = [[0 for y in range(41)] for x in range(21)]
buff[0][(len(buff[0])-1)/2] = 1
def rule1():
    for i in range(len(buff)-1):
	for j in range(len(buff[0])-1):
	    if i == len(buff)-1:
		break
	    elif j == 0:
		if buff[i][j+1] == 1:
		    buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif j == len(buff[0])-1:
		if buff[i][j-1] == 1:
		    buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif buff[i][j-1] == 1:
		buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif buff[i][j+1] == 1:
		buff[i+1][j] = 1

def rule2():
    for i in range(len(buff)-1):
	for j in range(len(buff[0])-1):
	    if i == len(buff)-1:
		break
	    elif j == 0:
		if buff[i][j+1] == 1:
		    buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif j == len(buff[0])-1:
		buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif buff[i][j-1] == 1 and buff[i][j+1] != 1:
		buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif buff[i][j+1] == 1 and buff[i][j-1] != 1:
		buff[i+1][j] = 1
	    elif buff[i][len(buff[0])-1] == 1 or buff[i][0]  == 1:
		break


rule2()
nim = Image.new("1", (50,50))
nim.putdata(buff)
nim.resize((400,600)).save("output.png")

for a in buff:
    for x in a:
       if x == 1:
	    print "X",
       elif x == 0: print " ",
    print ""
       
for a in buff:
    print a
