A Simplified Schelling Model

I coded up a simplified version of the Schelling segregation model today. I thought I'd share the code below.

Here's some output (with numcells above changed to 40):

+.++++++ .+.+.....++.++....++...++....+..+.. ++.++
+.++++++ .+.+.....++.++....++...++....+..+.. ++.++
+.++++++ .+.+.....++.++....++...++....+..+.. ++.++
+.+++++++.+.+.....++.+ ....++...++....+..+.. ++.++
+.+++++++.+.+.....++.+ ....++...++....+..+.. ++.++

Done

Pretty neat -- it works! I love complexity.
