Created by Kirill Rodriguez on 07/2018.
The purpose of this project is to animate automata in order to provide intuition for understanding complexity, and is to evolve into a more efficient framework for investigating algorithms and topologies in the languages of various automata.
This is a random Day and night simulation:
- c++20, clang++
- opengl 3/4, libepoxy, glfw
- Nuklear
- GPU-powered updates
- Ising model
- Multi-state automata
- Renderer
- GLSL compute shaders (only B/S/C automata, when compute shaders are supported)
- OpenMP-powered updates on CPU otherwise
- Storage mode
- Textures (B/S/C automata)
- CPU memory
- Single buffer on CPU for automata where individual cells are updated (e.g. Ising model)
- Double-buffer on CPU for update-all cellular automata
- Extra buffer for case when buffer is larger than screen (for averaging)
- Access mode
- Bounded
- Toroid (looped)
- Topology
- Grid
