REBOL [ Title: "A Variation on Conway's Game of Life " Author: "Ayrris Aunario" Email: %aaunario--yahoo--com Purpose: { A GUI implementation of a modified version of the popular cellular automaton system. The rules: 1) Each cell (square) on the grid is either alive (blue) or dead (white) 2) For every iteration, each cell's next state depends on current state and # of live neighbors a) if cell is alive, it stays alive <=> 2 or 3 neighbors are alive b) if cell is dead, becomes alive <=> exactly 3 neighbors are alive 3) Each cell's 8 neighbors comprise of adjacent cells unless it is on the edge, then use wrap-around rule Choose initial configuration of live cells (click cells to toggle between states) or "RANDOMIZE", start, and watch patterns emerge } Date: 20-Sep-2005/18:31:07-7:00 Version: 0.0.4 File: %game-of-life-variation.r Library: [ Level: 'intermediate Plugin: [size: 502x650 ] Platform: ['win plugin] Type: [demo fun game] Domain: [math gui vid game] Tested-under: none Support: none License: none See-also: none ] ] game_off?: true gsl: 50 ;specify grid side-length (in cells) csl: 10 ;specify cell side-length (in pixels) game_off?: true affected: copy [] ; used for keeping track of cells whose states might change for each iteration alive: copy [] ; stores live cells grid-pane: copy [] ; list of all cells on the grid ; make prototype cell cell: make face [ id: none size: as-pair (csl) (csl) edge: none offset: none neighbors: copy [] nc: 0 ;count of cell's living neighbors color: none setneighbors: does [ for j -1 1 1 [ for k -1 1 1[ if any [j <> 0 k <> 0] [ posx: to-string (-1 * j + 1 + (offset/x / csl)) posy: to-string (k * -1 + 1 + (offset/y / csl)) if (to-integer posx) > gsl [posx: to-string 1] if (to-integer posy) > gsl [posy: to-string 1] if posx = "0" [posx: to-string gsl] if posy = "0" [posy: to-string gsl] append neighbors to-word rejoin ["cell" posx "x" posy] ] ] ] ] ncreset: does [nc: 0] nc++: does [nc: nc + 1] ;if cell is alive, tell each of its neighbors sendstate: does [ append affected id foreach n neighbors [ do in (get n) 'nc++ append affected n ] ] ;sets cell's state for next iteration based on number of neighbors setns: does [ either show?
