LogiCell 1.0 sources

Download the applet, the sources and Javadoc files

To construct a "problem", LogiCell uses the following hierarchy :

1. CPattern objects (eater, gun ...)
2. CLogiComp objects are basic logical components. A group of patterns constituting AND, OR ...
3. CLogiTemplate objects are a set of CLogiComp which form an equation.
4. Template objects are grouped in a list belonging to the Universe to construct a "problem".

Note to CA programmers. The CCell objects contain a 64 bits long integer which represent a block of 8x8 cells, and pointers to neighbours CCells. The CCells are managed with a Vector. I think the optimization is correct, but since my objective was not to design the fastest CA algorithm, it could be greatly improved.
