GenesisCA

• IDE for modeling and simulation of Cellular Automata (CA)
• Focused on creation and evaluation of new CA models, by experimentation
• Based on Visual Programming Language (VPL) to define the rules
• First version will contain support to define CA models with:
  • Cell attributes types: [Bool, Integer, Float]

    Cell attributes define the informations each cell is holding.

  • Model attributes types: [Bool, Integer, Float]

    Model attributes define the parameters of CA model used on cell update rules that can be tuned when used the exported CA model.

  • Neighborhood:

    User is free to define the number of neighborhoods, and it's layout

  • Rule definitions:

    User design your own algorithm using VPL, to defines the way attributes updated, input colors are interpreted, and output colors are modified.

  • Color input mapping:

    User can create mappings for define what to do with the cell attributes given a color. This can be used to allow image initializations, as well as interactions at simulation time.

  • Color output mapping:

    User is able to creates different modes of visualization, mapping the cell attribute configurations into colors. This could be userful for debugging, presenting, or artistic purposes.

-Model Properties:

-Attributes (Cell and Model):

-Vicinities (for now, only centered neighborhoods, no partitions):

-Mappings - behavior defined on graph editor (Input, for allow load the configuration of the cells from an image or interact during execution; and Output, for visualizing and debugging purposes):

-Example of update rule graph (classical Game of Life):
