cellular_automata 0.2.0

A cellular automata library & playground

Cellular Automata

A cellular automata library / playground written in Dart. Happily accepting pull requests! ^_^

• Author: jimmyff
• Github: https://github.com/jimmyff/cellular_automata
• Dart Pub: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/cellular_automata
• Demos: http://jimmyff.github.io/cellular_automata

Features

• Generators to seed the simulation
• Current renderers:
  • StageXL: WebGL, fullscreen support

Implemented rules/simulations

• Conway's Game of Life

Demos

See the demos/ folder for demos. You can try the hosted demos here.

Performance

Dartium performance is significantly faster than compiled performance at the moment. Also there are some generator defects that are yet to be resolved. To try and increase use the trust-type-annotations flag in your pubspec:

transformers:
- $dart2js:
    checked: false
    minify: true
    commandLineOptions: ['--trust-type-annotations', '--trust-primitives']

Roadmap

• Add tests
• Performance information
• Implement additional CA rules (Brain, Voting, WireWorld etc)
• Detect stale simulations for reset / next
• Playlist of simulations
• Transitions for switching between two simulations
• Multiple simulations/rule-sets running in a single scene
• Generated color palettes
• Simulation controls (pause, reset, speed etc)
• Interactive mode (edit mode)
• Analysis tools (histograms for state counts)
• Add an LED Matrix renderer for raspberry pi using GPIO pins
• Flutter renderer
• CLI renderer
• Infinite world size support
