Simple ECA

A simple tool to generate graphics of elementary cellular automata

Requirements

numpy
matplotlib

Main Usage

1. run simpleECA.py
2. Enter the Wolfram code for the rule set to follow
3. Enter the number of generations to show (if n is the number of generations, the plot will be 2n + 1 wide)

Module usage

If imported as a module, generateECA(rule, generation) will return a 2D array of an ECA where rule is a 0-255 int Wolfram code and generation is an int of the amount of generations to run. In the array, int 1 is "alive" and int 0 is "dead"
