Python Cellular Automaton

Implementation of cellular automaton in python using pygame (mainly Conway's Game of Life)

Projects so far:

• GOL

  • Conway's Game of Life, developed to test speed of various cell update modes
  • Simple mode: all cells are updated
  • Bounding Box mode: The bounding box of the live cells is calculated and only cells within it are updated (faster)
  • Active Cells mode: only the cells around the active cells are updated (work in progress)
  • Controls:
    • Enter = Step
    • Space = Run/Pause
    • MMB = Run/Pause
    • LMB = Set cells
    • RMB = Clear cells
    • M = Change mode
    • S = Toggle separation
    • P = Toggle prev state
    • C = Clear all
    • G = Gosper glider gun pattern
    • g = Glider pattern
    • R = Random pattern
    • ESC = Quit
