Simple elementary CA tool

• Prints out elementary cellular automata using arguments
• Only python3 dependency
• Very slow. For educational purposes.

Usage

$ python3 Main.py -h
usage: Main.py [-h] [-i ITERATIONS] [-r RULE_NUMBER] [-s STATE]

Build elementary cellular automata.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i ITERATIONS, --evolutions ITERATIONS
                        The number of evolutions for the CA.
  -r RULE_NUMBER, --rule_number RULE_NUMBER
                        The rule number for the cellular automata.
  -s STATE, --state STATE
                        The initial conditions for the first row. 0: Middle is
                        *. Other cells are -. (default) 1: Random initial row
                        2:Far right is *. (*). Other cells are -.

Example

python3 Main.py -e 32 -r 110 -s 2
