# [Cellex](https://mathieucaroff.com/cellex)
A unidimensional cellular automata explorer. It supports up to 16 colors, and
a neigborhood range of up to 11 cells.
### Discord community

## What are unidimensiontal cellular automata?
See the following ressources for introduction:
- [Introduction to the 1D Simulators](https://elife-asu.github.io/wss-modules/modules/1-1d-cellular-automata/)
- [Wikipedia's page on elementary automata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_cellular_automaton)
## Features
Cellex supports panning, moving around with the mouse or the keyboard as well as autoscroll down and varying the autoscroll speed. It also features an adjustable zoomed up view. It also supports user-based differential propagation view.
The engine supports up to 16 states and a transition function of size 4096 at most. Thus, neighborhood size can go up to 11 when the number of state is 2.
## Limits
The current UI limits the number of states to seven because for now the palette is composed of seven colors.

## Deploying the server
First, install node_modules: `yarn`. Then go to `src/server` and build the server:
```sh
cd src/server
yarn vite build
```
Copy the generated server file up
```sh
cd ../..
cp src/server/dist/server.js .
```
Compile the app
```sh
yarn build
```
Start the server with the path of the `dist` folder as parameter
```
node server.js dist
```
