Cellular Automata + Game Of Life

Command-line tool to create .png snapshots of cellular automata and Conway's game of life simulations. Snapshots are automatically saved to snaps directory.

Installation

Install Elixir

Install dependencies:

mix deps.get

Start it up:

iex -S mix

Usage

Create a single cellular automata for given ruleset with given number of rows:

CellularAutomata.main(rule_int, num_rows)

Rule 30 -- 1000 rows

CellularAutomata.main(30, 1000)

Rule 150 -- 1000 rows

CellularAutomata.main(150, 1000)

Feed cellular automata for given ruleset with given number of rows through game of life for given number of rounds:

CellularAutomata.main(rule_int, num_rows, rounds)

A .png snapshot will be taken for each round (gifs sold separately).

Rule 30 -- 100 rows -- 250 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(30, 100, 250)

Rule 54 -- 100 rows -- 250 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(54, 100, 250)

Rule 60 -- 100 rows -- 250 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(60, 100, 250)

Rule 129 -- 100 rows -- 50 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(129, 100, 50)

Rule 205 -- 100 rows -- 50 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(205, 100, 50)

Rule 222 -- 100 rows -- 50 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(222, 100, 50)

Rule 37 -- 100 rows -- 50 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(37, 100, 50)

Rule 76 -- 100 rows -- 50 rounds

CellularAutomata.main(76, 100, 50)

Generate random board of given width and height, feed it through game of life for given number of rounds:

GameOfLife.main(width, height, rounds)

200 x 200 -- 150 rounds

GameOfLife.main(200, 200 ,150)
