GridWorld #
A set of classes for playing with Conway's Game of Life at the command line.
git clone git@github.com:monopole/grid_world.git
dart grid_world/example/main.dart
There are three primary classes: GridWorld
, Evolver
and GridStringer
.
GridWorld
#
A GridWorld
is an NxM grid of cells that can be dead or alive.
A GridWorld
can be constructed from
-
a multi-line string, e.g.
..... ..#.. ..#.. ..#.. .....
where
.
means dead, and anything else means alive. -
other worlds pasted into or appended to each other.
Evolver
#
A GridWorld
accepts an Evolver
to evolve it
forward in time.
A ConwayEvolver
is an Evolver
embodying Conway's GOL rules.
This evolver defines some small worlds
containing famous GOL patterns,
e.g. the Gosper glider gun:
static final gosperGliderGun = GridWorld.fromString('''
......................................
.........................#............
.......................#.#............
.............##......##............##.
............#...#....##............##.
.##........#.....#...##...............
.##........#...#.##....#.#............
...........#.....#.......#............
............#...#.....................
.............##.......................
......................................
''');
GridStringer
#
A world can be converted to a string using
a GridStringer
.
GridStringerAnsi
is a GridStringer
that converts a world
to a string with embedded ANSI escape sequences for
animation on a terminal.
