Class ElementaryCellularAutomaton

constructor

• new ElementaryCellularAutomaton(rule, __namedParameters?): ElementaryCellularAutomaton

• Initialize machine with given arguments.

  When it has infinite cells(infiniteLeft and/or infiniteRight is true), this class only supports the following rule ―
  If emptyCell == 0, then rule must be even;
  else rule must be less than 128.

  Parameters

  • rule: number

    the rule number.

  • __namedParameters: {
        emptyCell?: 0 | 1;
        infiniteLeft?: boolean;
        infiniteRight?: boolean;
    } = {}

    • Optional emptyCell?: 0 | 1

    • Optional infiniteLeft?: boolean

    • Optional infiniteRight?: boolean

  Returns ElementaryCellularAutomaton

asTuple

• asTuple(): {
      rule: number;
  }

• Returns a tuple representation of this machine.

  Returns {
      rule: number;
  }

  • rule: number

  Remarks

  A ECA is represented as follows:

  • rule - the rule number of this machine.

clone

• clone(): ElementaryCellularAutomaton

• Returns ElementaryCellularAutomaton

getConfiguration

• getConfiguration(): null | ECAConfiguration

• Returns configuration(current status) of this machine.

  Returns null | ECAConfiguration

  Current status of this machine if ElementaryCellularAutomaton.start was called, null otherwise.

  Remarks

  A ECA's configuration is represented as follows:

  • cells - Cells' state of this machine.

isStopped

• isStopped(): boolean

• Returns boolean

proceed

• proceed(step): void

• Proceeds with this machine. This method must be called after ElementaryCellularAutomaton.start called, or get an error,

  Parameters

  • step: number

    Non-negative integer indicating how many steps to advance this machine.

  Returns void

start

• start(input): void

• Initiates processing for a given cells.

  Parameters

  • input: {
        cells: (0 | 1)[];
    }

    • cells: (0 | 1)[]

  Returns void

  Remarks

  Cells are set up as starting at index 0.
