CA rules parsers
Parsing rule strings of life-like and other cellular automata.
Currently the following rules are supported:
- Totalistic Life-like,
e.g.,
B3/S23
. - Isotropic non-totalistic Life-like,
e.g.,
B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e
. - Totalistic Hexagonal,
e.g.,
B2/S34H
. - Isotropic non-totalistic Hexagonal,
e.g.,
B2o3-o4m/S12m3o4m5H
. - von Neumann neighbourhood,
e.g.,
B2/S013V
. - The corresponding Generations rules
of the above rules, e.g.,
3457/357/5
.
For non-Generations rules, both B/S notation
(B3/S23
) and S/B notation
(23/3
) are supported.
For Generations rules, three different notations are supported:
- B/S notation (
B357/S3457/C5
) - The notation used by Golly (
3457/357/5
) - The notation used by Catagolue (
g5b357s3457
)
Please refer to Life Wiki for detailed definitions and notations of these rule strings.
Example:
use ParseLife;
// Define a struct for your rule:
// Implement a parser trait for your rule:
// The choice of the trait depends on the type of rules you want to parse.
// Then you can parse a rule string:
let life = parse_rule.unwrap;
assert_eq!
