------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a pdp extension lib that contains modules for cellular
automata built on a (very) minimal forth-like virtual system
(scaf - simple cellular automaton forth) to define update rules. a
compiler is included to produce scafo object code that can be
dynamically loaded into the pdp_ca module. so it is possible to
add/change rules without restarting pd (note however you need to close
all lib files before the dynamic loader reloads the lib). see
scaf/README for details.
pdp_ca2image and pdp_image2ca are included for conversion between
CA packets and image packets. (pdp_ca2image produces greyscale
images)
Have a look at the patches in test/ for some crude docs. The file
README.scaf contains some more info on the internals.
Requirements:
* pd
* pdp
* linux
* perl for the forth compiler
* an intel/amd processor that supports MMX
Building:
Edit Makefile.config to reflect your system settings. For now this
should be the pd dir, the pdp dir and the pdp_scaf dir.
type "make" in the top directory. Remember to type "make clean all"
after editing Makefile.config
Using:
add "-lib <SCAF_DIR>/pdp_scaf" to the pd command line after the
"-lib <PDP_DIR>/pdp" part.
launch pd with the options -lib $PDP_DIR/pdp -path $PDP_DIR/abstractions
Directory structure:
include/ header files
pdp/ pdp external code
system/ forth system code
test/ some test patches (cryptic doc)
modules/ ca rule libraries
Please let me know if you discover a bug or think something doesn't work
right. Code, documentation or example patches are more than welcome of
course.
Have Fun,
Tom
