elementary-automata

A simple program to generate images for Wolfram's elementary automata. The output looks like this (for rule 126):

Usage

elementary-automata [<flags>] <rule> <file>

Flags

Flag	What does it do?	Default
-s	How large is each generation?	1000
-g	How many generations should be simulated?	1000
-c	Create the initial generation with a centered "on" cell	false
scale	How large should each cell appear in the output image (in pixels)?	1
rule	Which elementary automata rule should be used? (30, 50, 126, etc)	N/

Running locally

1. go get ./...
2. go run main.go -c 126 ~/one-twenty-six.png (produces the image above)

Testing

You need Ginkgo, Gomega, and Counterfeiter installed to run the tests.

1. go get ./...
2. go generate ./...
3. go test ./... or ginkgo -r
