Crate cellular_snapp

Create cellular automata.

Inspired by tantan’s 3D cellular automata project, the cellular library aims to allow you to create and simulate 2D and 3D cellular automata. Unlike tantan’s project, this isn’t bound to any one framework or game engine for displaying the automata graphically. This just does the simulation bits.

Modules

deep

Create deep (3D) cellular automata. This module exists to help you create 3D (aka flat) cellular automata.

flat

Create flat (2D) cellular automata. This module exists to help you create 2D (aka flat) cellular automata.

Structs

AutomataRules

Any cellular automata has four different rules that govern how it works.

Enums

Method

Any cellular automata has one of two ways to determine whether any given cell is the neighbor of any other cell. This enum allows choosing which method is used by an automaton to determine neighbors.

Rule

Any cellular automata has two rules that care about neighbors. One rule says how many neighbors a cell needs to be born, and another says how many neighbors a cell needs to continue living. This enum is used to tell the automata how many neighbor counts are valid for a given rule.
