Functions

func EuclideanDistance

func EuclideanDistance(p1, p2 image.Point) float64

EuclideanDistance

Return the euclidean distance between two points

func NewGeneration

func NewGeneration(rectangle image.Rectangle,
	palette color.Palette,
	ratio AspectRatio,
	model string,
	nbgeneration, nbgenerations int) *generation

return a new generation which is initially empty. Since this implementation honours colors, the contents are stored as indexes to a color palette and a colour model has to be given. The new generation is given index nbgeneration among nbgenerations

Types

type AspectRatio

type AspectRatio struct {
	X, Y int
}

Frames can be generated with arbitrary aspect ratios, whose definition is given below. They represent a magnification of the underlying matrix by 1:X and 1:Y

type Conway

type Conway struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

The Conway's Game consists of a slice with a number of generations each with a given width and height

func NewConway

func NewConway(width, height, generations int, contents *generation) Conway

Return a new Conway's Game. Note that it is necessary to specify the first generation

func (*Conway) GetGIF

func (game *Conway) GetGIF(delay0, delay, average int) gif.GIF

return a gif animation of the Conway's Game with the given delay in 100th of a second between frames, and an initial delay equal to delay0 100th of a second. If average has a value strictly greater than 1 then the color index of each cell (either alive of dead) is averaged over the last "average" generations

func (*Conway) Run

func (game *Conway) Run()

Run the entire game and generate all generations from the initial population in the given instance of the Conway's Game
