PyCAGE is a comprehensive and versatile software tool for simulating cellular automata, offering a generic and complete framework for analysis and modeling.
PyCAGE is a powerful simulation engine that allows for the creation of complex cellular automata systems. This software is written in Python and supports both 1D and 2D automata, as well as a variety of prepackaged rules.
One of the standout features of PyCAGE is the concept of "agents". Agents are individual entities that can move about independently on the map, providing a way to implement agent behavior within a larger system.
PyCAGE includes numerous examples of fully-functional CA systems, including some of the most popular examples like Conway's Game of Life, Langton's self-reproducing automaton, Langton's "vants," and 1D automata rule explorers.
To aid in visualizing these systems, PyCAGE also comes with simple displayers, including a curses interface for 2D automata, as well as a unique implementation of a finite state machine.
The core functionality of PyCAGE revolves around the concept of time. Time is measured in discrete steps, referred to as time units. Each cell on the map has a well-defined state at each time unit and a series of neighboring cells that make up its neighborhood.
The state of each cell changes according to a state transition function that depends on the state of that cell and the states of its neighbors. In synchronous automata, all cell transitions take place simultaneously.
In this latest release of PyCAGE, users can expect minor organizational changes with the addition of stepping stone automaton.
Overall, PyCAGE is a comprehensive and versatile tool for anyone looking to create sophisticated cellular automata systems in Python.
