Terminal Cellular Automata

Term CA

Cellular Automata on the terminal.

Features

Simulation and visualization of:

• Von Neumann cellular automaton
• John Conway's Game of Life
• Brian Silverman's Wireworld
• Brian Silverman's Seeds

Grid editor for easier input creation.

Usage

$ make
$ ./termca examples/gol-glider.txt
$ ./termca

To select which automaton to simulate and visualize, edit states.h and transition.inc to #include the appropriate files from the automata folder. Then (re)compile the executable with make and run it, giving it the input file(s) as command line argument(s). Example input can be found in examples.

When you've opened the program, press Enter to continue to the next frame of the simulation. Ctrl+C will exit the program, and q will continue to the next file provided as argument.

Contributing

To contribute, you can write example inputs, or add support for more cellular automata. I'll ask you to use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment, as well as not to make obnoxiously long lines.

to są po prostu animacje w terminalu czy co?

do czego służy ten program?!?!?
