Elementary Cellular Automaton Generator

Simple code that generates patterns of elementary cellular automaton using Python.

To run the code

1. move to the directory you want to create outputs in

$ cd [PATH]

2. clone this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/mikako-shirai/Elementary-Cellular-Automaton-Generator.git

4. run the python file

$ python3 main.py

After running the file

By running main.py, it reads the following three inputs from command line

• a decimal number
• a number of rows in the output (optional, default value = 200)
• a number of columns in the output (optional, default value = 400)

on command line :

rule number (0-255) : [YOUR INPUT] (example : 110)
number of row (hit enter to skip) : 
number of column (hit enter to skip) : 

After converting the first input to a binary number, it creates a text file of the pattern consisting of 0s (as white cells) and 1s (as black cells) in the directory you are currently in

rule_110.txt
main.py

Examples of outputs

Rule 90

Rule 99

Rule 110

Rule 150
