[Lua] Cellular Automata
« on: January 15, 2013, 08:48:02 pm »
Cellular Automata

http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=843

This is an Nspire Lua version of Cellular Automata.

Features:
 - choose the fieldsize yourself
 - choose the number of generations that pass automatically (when it stops, you can go to the next gen with [enter]
 - choose the framerate at which the generations pass
 - toggle wraparound. When enabled, one row below the field's bottom row is the top row. That way with all the borders (The field never stops). When disabled, the field stops at the screenborders.
 - add standard states from a menu (glider, cross, Diagonal egg, Exploder, Dieing exploder r-Pentamino and Glidergun).
 - toggle tiles on the field using [tab] in edit mode

If you stop the animation with [esc] you go back to the starting positions.
Press [esc] again and you're back in the main menu. As long as you don't change the field size, all data is contained.
No saving option is implemented yet. When you quit the program, you lose the data.

11 sets of rules supported, select them, and many more options, with [menu].

We both made the game of life at the same time :P
Here's mine btw

Only difference is that mine is in C and I don't attach the top-bottom/left-right edges like nick does.

No, for two reasons:
1. It is written in apilevel 1.0, so it does not support fullscreen (max of 318x212px)
2. It took way too long to calculate it for a big screen, that's why I put a restriction on it. This restriction might be stupid, but when I ran it w/o it on my pc, it started ventilating like hell, and I didn't dare to try it on calc.

Looks awesome, there are some 83+ variations as well. I believe Iambian has one on these forums somewhere.

Indeed, Conway's Game of Life is a classic learning exercise which can produce nifty patterns, there are many implementations for pretty much any platform :)
The ticalc.org archives contain several dozens of implementations, among which are:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/338/33898.html (best TI-68k implementation, fast and multiple rules supported, documentation - if you want a source of inspiration for expanding the feature set of your program, this one is fantastic)
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/144/14483.html (TICT's simple implementation, hard-coded 23/3 rule, for the TI-68k series) / http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/434/43471.html (my Nspire Clickpad/Touchpad Ndless 1.7/2.0 port)

That would be here and features a bazillion alternative rulesets he also explains his method somwhat to acheive such performance.
If we are sharing examples, Patrick Pendergast (tr1p1ea) wrote a Conway's Game of Life program. :P


EDIT: Dang, I was ninja'd >.> My computer died mid-post, but Chrome saved the majority of it XD

I decided to implement all those from wikipedia, since those are the ones in that 68k game too i think.
there are 11 rules in total: Conway, replicator, replicator2, seeds, flakes, 34 Life, Diamoeba, 2x2, highlife, day&night and morley.
You can set them with the [menu] key.

Of course I changed the name to Cellular Automata :)

I only have some problems with those menu's. It seems that when I change it, the contents and th functions behind the menu change, but not the text and layout of the menu. That way you can't see what you're doing, you always see the same menu, and I have no clue what's going on...
I'll update it as soon as I get this fixed

Relayed to the community at TI-Planet, like I did with your Uno game several weeks ago: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11117 .

How about adding a Cellular Automata item to the image in your signature ? :)
