IMS project - Cellular automaton in the field of ecology

Authors:

• Tomáš Frátrik (xfratr01)
• Patrik Ješko (xjesko01)

Usage

For visualization, python script is used, vis_data.py. If using ssh, for visualization -Y parameter with ssh is needed for window forwarding else only gif of animation will be saved

compile project with make $ ./main [arguments] Arguments (all arguments are mandatory, if not used defaults will be user, still recomemdet to set width and height): * -h <number> set height of the grid * -w <number> set width of the grid * -r <number> set rule (1-4) (default 1) * -s <number> set number in % of rocks occupation (recomended low number, e.g 1) (default 0) * -m <number> set moisture, float <1.0, 2,0> (does nothing without -p) * -p <number> how many moisture roots will be planted (default 0) (must be used with -m) * -i <number> how many iterations (default height)

Examples:

./main ./main -h 50 - w 50 ./main -h 70 - w 70 -s 1 -m 2 -p 4

Brief Implementation details

Project is programed in C++, used OOP. Implementation of Cellular Automata. For visualisation used python script
Project tries to simulate different types of roots, with different moisture, or with obstacles (rocks).
