README

Substrate for cellular automata in Rust. Named after the LB medium used in mircobiology. Also look into Angelina Fanny Hesse ;) The underlying grid is of toroidal shape, i.e. the coordinate values/neighbours wrap around. This code is dual-licensed under the MIT/Apache 2.0 licenses.

examples

retrieve value as grid: cargo run --example retrieval
implementation of rule 30: cargo run --example rule30
save grid states as JSON: cargo run --example json

features

dead-alive-only

Enable utility functions for binary (only) cell state.

dead-alive-into-bool

Allow dead/alive cell to be converted into boolean values.

dead-alive-u8-utils

Group 8 binary cell states into an octet for nicer processing and i/o.

versions / changes

upcoming

1.2

documentation extended
minor code cleaning
rule30 example minimised
fixed signature of cs8_into_u8() to be internally compatible
added u8_into_cs8 utility function
grouped CellState / u8 conversions under feature "dead-alive-u8-utils"
- dropped feature "dead-alive-into-group-u8"
added JSON example
implemented next() as iterator
implemented next_byte() for easier byte conversion

1.1

binary cell states are explicit feature now: "dead-alive-only"
optional conversion of binary cell states into boolean value as feature: "dead-alive-into-bool"
convert eight cellstates into an u8 (octet) via feature: "dead-alive-into-group-u8"

1.0

grid works (setting & retrieving cell states)
universe implemented (rules via function pointer)
