Xtoys

The directory xtoys contains a set of cellular automata simulators I have written for Xwindows. The xtoys gallery shows some pictures produced by these programs.

The files in the xtoys directory include sources for:

xising.txt, xising.c: a two dimensional Ising model simulator
xpotts.txt, xpotts.c: for the two dimensional Potts model
xautomalab.txt, xautomalab.c: a totalistic cellular automaton simulator
xsand.txt, xsand.c: for the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld sandpile model
xfires.txt, xfires.c: a simple forest fire automaton
xtoys.tar: the above files combined in a tar file
amiga: a directory containing similar Amiga programs

If you are on one of our local sparcstations, pointers to the executables are in /usr/local/bin. If this is in your path, typing "xising," etc. will start the corresponding program.

The Makefile is kind of trivial, but it is here for those that like such things.

At present, all except xising and xautomalab require a color display.

I want these to compile under generic X; so if you have problems on some machine supporting X, I would appreciate knowing so I can fix things.
