Naive implementation of the Conway's game of life:
The universe's size if given and constant.
The universe state is recorded using a character list (string) following the convention . for dead and o for alive.

Stepper works the following way:

• NULL

API

• function naive_step to get a universe's next step
• function naive_simulation to get a universe's final step and optionally print to console and generate images

Function Documentation

naive_count_neighbors()

int naive_count_neighbors	(	universe	u,
		int	row,
		int	column,
		bool	consider_torus
	)

Count alive neighbors of a cell in a given universe.

Parameters

u	universe
row
column
consider_torus	true to consider the universe as a torus

Returns

number of alive neighbors of the given cell

naive_simulation()

universe naive_simulation	(	universe	u,
		bool	print_to_console,
		bool	generate_images,
		bool	consider_torus
	)

Get the final state of a universe, according to its step_nb parameter.

Parameters

u	universe
print_to_console	true to print each step to the console
generate_images	true to generate images
consider_torus	true to consider the universe as a torus

Returns

the universe's final state

naive_step()

universe naive_step	(	universe	u,
		bool	consider_torus
	)

Get a naive universe's next iteration.
Decrements the universe's step_nb parameter by one.

Parameters

u	universe
consider_torus	true to consider the universe as a torus

Returns

the given universe's next iteration
