# Go Cellular Automata
[](https://godoc.org/github.com/liamg/gca)
A simple cellular automata package, useful for procedural generation.
Configurable, but has a helpful out of the box config that meets basic needs. Currently uses [Moore neighbourhoods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_neighborhood).
You can see the code used to generate this gif in [examples/gif/main.go](examples/gif/main.go).
## Installation
GCA supports go modules, but will also work fine without, just use:
```
go get -u github.com/liamg/gca
```
## Usage Example
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/liamg/gca"
)
func main() {
grid := gca.NewGrid(80, 24)
grid.Initialise()
grid.SetMinNeighboursToBirth(5)
grid.SetMinNeighboursToRemain(2)
grid.Run(3)
w, h := grid.Size()
for y := 0; y < h; y++ {
for x := 0; x < w; x++ {
if grid.Read(x, y) {
fmt.Printf(" ")
} else {
fmt.Printf("#")
}
}
fmt.Printf("\n")
}
}
```
...will output something like:
