About

N-Dimensional cellular automaton. Currently project contain a lot of bugs and most of the features still not implemented

Building

git clone https://github.com/Rejeq/CellNta
cd CellNta
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . -j 4

Testing

To build with the testing, add -DCELLNTA_TESTING=ON cmake flag
To run tests: ctest . in the build directory

Dependendies

The dependencies will be automatically loaded and compiled by default, but if you have problems, you can install everything manually, just disable fetching by adding cmake flag: CELLNTA_FETCHING=OFF

List of dependencies:

• Eigen3 - math library
• GLEW - openGL loader
• Boost - used only dynamic_bitset, so needed only headers
• Spdlog - logging system, optional, add -DCELLNTA_LOGGING=OFF to disable
• Tracy - optional, profiling tools
• GoogleTest - optional, testing

For Desktop gui:

• SDL2 - window manager
• ImGui - gui library

Most of these libraries can be automatically defined on your system, so you only need to install them.
But for some libraries, like imgui, you need to specify the -D[LIB]_DIR variable (see ./cmake/Find[LIB].cmake for the exact name).

You can use a package manager, such as vcpkg, and install the dependencies with the following command:

vcpkg install sdl2 glew boost spdlog eigen3

Afterwards, when configuring with cmake, add the toolchain file flag: -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE='[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake'
