# Simulake
A cellular automata physics simulator.
## Cloning
External dependencies are included as git submodules in `lib`. Clone source
files and dependencies using:
```
git clone git@github.com:patilatharva/simulake.git --recursive
```
## Building with CMake
```
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
```
For debug build, use the `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` flag.
## Usage
```
./simulake [OPTION...]
-x, --width arg grid width in cells (default: 400)
-y, --height arg grid height in cells (default: 200)
-c, --cellsize arg cell size in pixels (default: 4)
-g, --gpu enable GPU acceleration
-l, --load arg load scene from disk
-h, --help print help
```
