cellularAutomaton

A framework of cellular automaton

• With Model of "Forest Fire"
  
• With Model of "Conway's Game of Life"
  
• With Model of one demension cellular automaton (Rule #124)
• and more...

Environment

• Visual Studio 2012
• Qt 5
• QtPluginForVS2012

If you wanna add your models...

You JUST need to modify two files, cell.h & evolve.cpp.

cell.h:

In "SPECIAL PART":

• add "#define YOURMODELNAME ANOTHERNUMBER"

And Then...

• (option) If you wanna run the model you added, modify the "modelName" macro, like "#define modelName YOURMODELNAME"
• add "#if modelName == YOURMODELNAME", copy the settings and paste and modify, add "#endif"

The Settings

• "mapColor[]" decides the color of the cell in different status
• "enum status" decides all possible status a cell may has
• "numOfStatus" decides the number of all possible status
• "isNeighborSurrounded" decide the shape of neighborhood (Moore for true and von Neumann for false)
• "initStatusPossibility" decides the initial density (%) of the cell in different status

evolve.cpp:

• add "#if modelName == YOURMODELNAME", copy the function evolveCell(Cell,Neighborhood) and paste and modify, add "#endif"

Function evolveCell(Cell &c,const Neighborhood &n)

• All you need to do in this function is to set the next status of the Cell &c, according to the Neighborhood &n.
• "(enum status)c.stat": the status of the cell
• "n.stat[X]": the number of neighbors in the status X
