CA library
This library gathers several tools to simulate and work with 2D CA grids.
For example to simulate a randomly initialized 2-states CA of size 512 with neighborhood size 1 for 10 steps:
use rust_ca::rule::Rule;
use rust_ca::automaton::{AutomatonImpl, Automaton};
// We build a random CA rule with 2 states and neighborhood size 1.
let rule = Rule::random(1, 2);
let mut automaton = Automaton::new(2, 128, rule);
automaton.random_init();
// Simulate the CA for 32 steps.
automaton.iter(32);We now write 10 steps of the CA to a GIF animation.
use rust_ca::output;
output::write_to_gif_file(Some("test.gif"), &mut automaton, 1, 10, 1, 1, 0);The scale parameters make the GIF larger by duplicating every pixel, and
the skip argument will only write a step every skip steps.
output::write_to_gif_file(Some("test_bis.gif"), &mut automaton, 4, 100, 10, 1, 0);
