1DcellularAutomaton_Library

a java library for making quick 1d cellular automata simulation

if you don't know what are cellular automata, you better document before using the library

==========MADE BY PHYSIC DEV (Physic Gamer)==========

you can use this for your own project but i would apreciate you mention that this was done by me.

=====================================================

DOCUMENTATION :

• Class Cellular1D

  • Cellular1D(int L,int N,int S) constructor, L : automata cells number N : range (0 = depends only with of itself, 1 = also depends of its directs neighbors) S : total possible states

Variables:

int gen : the actual generation int[] state : contain the actual state of the automata

Functions:

• getLength() indicates the length value

• getNeighbors() indicates the neighbors number (always an odd number)

• getRule() indicates the rule value

• getState() indicates the numbers of possible state

• getTranslate(int state) indicates the character associated with the state

• maxRule() indicates the total number of Rule-1, it's also the biggest number we can assign to a rule

• nextGen() compute the next generation

• reset() fill the state array (state[]) with 0 exact the middle cell that take the value of 1

• reset(int value) fill the state array (state[]) with 0 exact the middle cell that take the value of value

• random() fill the state array (state[]) randomly with possible state values

• setChar(char[] c) match each state to a character , is used for the render of the automata in the terminal (see toString()) c : char array with a length of state (see getState())

• setRule(int r) assign a rule to the cellular automata r : integer between 0 and MaxRule (see maxRule())

• toString() convert the state array in a String with the help of the translate array (see setChar())

• Class ComplexCellular1D

work in the same way as Cellular1D

hovewer cellular automata of ComplexCellular1D are'nt totalistic :

example :

Cellular1D :

20320+12031 because 20320 = 2+0+3+2+0=7 12031 = 1+2+0+3+1=7

but in ComplexCellular1D :

20320 != 12031

so these configuarions can give different result
