Running the solutions
For convenience, the project has a setup.py that specifies a package, for local path resolving.
This can be installed locally in the python (virtual)environment by using:
pip install -e .Problems can be run by running the file, most should have a main method with some sample input, e.g. :
python p16_20.pySome highlights
Langton's ant (Chapter 16, Problem 22)
An interesting example of emergent patterns from simple rules. Raise the number of iterations in the code to see more of the "highway" form.
For more information, check the wikipedia link.
Tree visualising in VS Code
This requires graphviz to be installed locally and the extension added to VS Code.
The one used in the screenshot above can be found here.
