cellular-automata-gpu

Installing and testing

With npm do:

npm install cellular-automata-gpu

Features

• Doesn't have any dependency to the DOM (use gl when used in node)
• Can easily apply different successive rules.
• Can be used in 2D and 3D.
• Allow the cellular automata rules to be passed as a string in one of several common CA rule format, see cellular-automata-rule-parser.

Warning

It is currently recommended to use the CPU-based module cellular-automata instead as it is more battle-tested, more documented and not subject to GPU drivers bugs, albeit much slower.
