One-dimensional cellular automata
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Assume an array of cells with an initial distribution of live and dead cells, and imaginary cells off the end of the array having fixed values.
Cells in the next generation of the array are calculated based on the value of the cell and its left and right nearest neighbours in the current generation.
If, in the following table, a live cell is represented by 1 and a dead cell by 0 then to generate the value of the cell at a particular index in the array of cellular values you use the following table:
000 -> 0 # 001 -> 0 # 010 -> 0 # Dies without enough neighbours 011 -> 1 # Needs one neighbour to survive 100 -> 0 # 101 -> 1 # Two neighbours giving birth 110 -> 1 # Needs one neighbour to survive 111 -> 0 # Starved to death.

The program overwrites each cell on the screen as it updates it (which it does quite slowly—there is no difficulty about watching what it is doing), with a counter to the right showing the generation it is currently working on. When it is part of the way through, for example, the display looks like this:
00110001011000000000 5
It halts when a stable state has been reached:
00110000000000000000 9

Alternative Version II
This version saves memory representing the state in an array of bits. For a higher performance a SWAR approach should be tried.
void main() {
import std.stdio, std.algorithm, std.range, std.bitmanip;
immutable initial = "__###_##_#_#_#_#__#___";
enum nGenerations = 10;
BitArray A, B;
A.init(initial.map!(c => c == '#').array);
B.length = initial.length;
foreach (immutable _; 0 .. nGenerations) {
//A.map!(b => b ? '#' : '_').writeln;
//foreach (immutable i, immutable b; A) {
foreach (immutable i; 1 .. A.length - 1) {
"_#"[A[i]].write;
immutable val = (uint(A[i - 1]) << 2) |
(uint(A[i]) << 1) |
uint(A[i + 1]);
B[i] = val == 3 || val == 5 || val == 6;
}
writeln;
A.swap(B);
}
}
The output is the same as the second version.

Icon and Unicon
An alternative approach is to represent the automaton as a string. The following solution takes advantage of the implicit type coercions between string and numeric values in Icon and Unicon. It also surrounds the automaton with a border of 'dead' (always 0) cells to eliminate the need to special case the first and last cells in the automaton. Although the main procedure displays up to the first 10 generations, the evolve procedure fails if a new generation is unchanged from the previous, stopping the generation cycle early.
procedure main(A)
A := if *A = 0 then ["01110110101010100100"]
CA := show("0"||A[1]||"0") # add always dead border cells
every CA := show(|evolve(CA)\10) # limit to max of 10 generations
end
procedure show(ca)
write(ca[2:-1]) # omit border cells
return ca
end
procedure evolve(CA)
newCA := repl("0",*CA)
every newCA[i := 2 to (*CA-1)] := (CA[i-1]+CA[i]+CA[i+1] = 2, "1")
return CA ~== newCA # fail if no change
end

JavaScript
The example below expects an array of 1s or 0s, as in the example. It also adds dead cells to both ends, which aren't included in the returned next generation.
state[i-1] refers to the new cell in question, (old[i] == 1) checks if the old cell was alive.
function caStep(old) {
var old = [0].concat(old, [0]); // Surround with dead cells.
var state = []; // The new state.
for (var i=1; i<old.length-1; i++) {
switch (old[i-1] + old[i+1]) {
case 0: state[i-1] = 0; break;
case 1: state[i-1] = (old[i] == 1) ? 1 : 0; break;
case 2: state[i-1] = (old[i] == 1) ? 0 : 1; break;
}
}
return state;
}
- Example usage:
alert(caStep([0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0]));
shows an alert with "0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0".
jq
The main point of interest in the following is perhaps the way the built-in function "recurse" is used to continue the simulation until quiescence.
# The 1-d cellular automaton:
def next:
# Conveniently, jq treats null as 0 when it comes to addition
# so there is no need to fiddle with the boundaries
. as $old
| reduce range(0; length) as $i
([];
($old[$i-1] + $old[$i+1]) as $s
| if $s == 0 then .[$i] = 0
elif $s == 1 then .[$i] = (if $old[$i] == 1 then 1 else 0 end)
else .[$i] = (if $old[$i] == 1 then 0 else 1 end)
end);
# pretty-print an array:
def pp: reduce .[] as $i (""; . + (if $i == 0 then " " else "*" end));
# continue until quiescence:
def go: recurse(. as $prev | next | if . == $prev then empty else . end) | pp;
# Example:
[0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0] | go

PARI/GP
This version defines the fixed cells to the left and right as dead; of course other versions are possible. This function generates one generation from a previous one, passed as a 0-1 vector.
step(v)=my(u=vector(#v),k);u[1]=v[1]&v[2];u[#u]=v[#v]&v[#v-1];for(i=2,#v-1,k=v[i-1]+v[i+1];u[i]=if(v[i],k==1,k==2));u;
To simulate a run of 10 generations of the automaton, the function above can be put in a loop that spawns a new generation as a function of nth generations passed (n=0 is the initial state):
cur = [0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0]; for(n=0, 9, print(cur); cur = step(cur));

Python: Using boolean operators on bits
The following implementation uses boolean operations to realize the function.
import random

fmt = '%%0%ix'%nquads
nbits = 4*nquads
a = random.getrandbits(nbits) << 1

for i in range(maxgenerations):
print "Generation %3i: %s" % (i,(''.join(tr[int(t,16)] for t in (fmt%(a>>1)))))
a |= endvals
a = ((a&((a<<1) | (a>>1))) ^ ((a<<1)&(a>>1))) & endmask
Python: Sum neighbours == 2
This example makes use of the observation that a cell is alive in the next generation if the sum with its current neighbours of alive cells is two.
>>> gen = [ch == '#' for ch in '_###_##_#_#_#_#__#__']
>>> for n in range(10):
print(''.join('#' if cell else '_' for cell in gen))
gen = [0] + gen + [0]
gen = [sum(gen[m:m+3]) == 2 for m in range(len(gen)-2)]

We'll make a general algorithm capable of computing any cellular automata as defined by Stephen Wolfram's famous book A new kind of Science. We will take the liberty of wrapping the array of cells as it does not affect the result much and it makes the implementation a lot easier.

# 1D Cellular Automota
Assume an array of cells with an initial distribution of live and
dead cells, and imaginary cells off the end of the array having
fixed values.
Cells in the next generation of the array are calculated based on
the value of the cell and its left and right nearest neighbors in
the current generation.
If, in the following table, a live cell is represented by 1 and a
dead cell by 0 then to generate the value of the cell at a particular
index in the array of cellular values you use the following table:
000 -> 0 #
001 -> 0 #
010 -> 0 # Dies without enough neighbours
011 -> 1 # Needs one neighbour to survive
100 -> 0 #
101 -> 1 # Two neighbours giving birth
110 -> 1 # Needs one neighbour to survive
111 -> 0 # Starved to death.
I had originally written an implementation of this in RETRO 11.
For RETRO 12 I took advantage of new language features and some
further considerations into the rules for this task.
The first word, `string,` inlines a string to `here`. I'll use
this to setup the initial input.
~~~
:string, (s-) [ , ] s:for-each #0 , ;
~~~
The next two lines setup an initial generation and a buffer for
the evolved generation. In this case, `This` is the current
generation and `Next` reflects the next step in the evolution.
~~~
'This d:create
'.###.##.#.#.#.#..#.. string,
'Next d:create
'.................... string,
~~~
I use `display` to show the current generation.
~~~
:display (-)
&This s:put nl ;
~~~
As might be expected, `update` copies the `Next` generation to
the `This` generation, setting things up for the next cycle.
~~~
:update (-)
&Next &This dup s:length copy ;
~~~
The word `group` extracts a group of three cells. This data will
be passed to `evolve` for processing.
~~~
:group (a-nnn)
[ fetch ]
[ n:inc fetch ]
[ n:inc n:inc fetch ] tri ;
~~~
I use `evolve` to decide how a cell should change, based on its
initial state with relation to its neighbors.
In the prior implementation this part was much more complex as I
tallied things up and had separate conditions for each combination.
This time I take advantage of the fact that only cells with two
neighbors will be alive in the next generation. So the process is:
- take the data from `group`
- compare to `$#` (for living cells)
- add the flags
- if the result is `#-2`, the cell should live
- otherwise it'll be dead
~~~
:evolve (nnn-c)
[ $# eq? ] tri@ + +
#-2 eq? [ $# ] [ $. ] choose ;
~~~
For readability I separated out the next few things. `at` takes an
index and returns the address in `This` starting with the index.
~~~
:at (n-na)
&This over + ;
~~~
The `record` word adds the evolved value to a buffer. In this case
my `generation` code will set the buffer to `Next`.
~~~
:record (c-)
buffer:add n:inc ;
~~~
And now to tie it all together. Meet `generation`, the longest bit
of code in this sample. It has several bits:
- setup a new buffer pointing to `Next`
- this also preserves the old buffer
- setup a loop for each cell in `This`
- initial loop index at -1, to ensure proper dummy state for first cell
- get length of `This` generation
- perform a loop for each item in the generation, updating `Next` as it goes
- copy `Next` to `This` using `update`.
~~~
:generation (-)
[ &Next buffer:set
#-1 &This s:length
[ at group evolve record ] times drop
update
] buffer:preserve ;
~~~
The last bit is a helper. It takes a number of generations and displays
the state, then runs a `generation`.
~~~
:generations (n-)
[ display generation ] times ;
~~~
And a text. The output should be:
.###.##.#.#.#.#..#..
.#.#####.#.#.#......
..##...##.#.#.......
..##...###.#........
..##...#.##.........
..##....###.........
..##....#.#.........
..##.....#..........

~~~
#10 generations

Rather than assuming fixed values for cells beyond borders, it has been decided to make the board 'circular', as it is the case in many 2D versions. A new generation is directly derived from the output string of the previous generation.

Three functions are defined. Rule takes a neighborhood of three cells to the succeeding value of the middle one, step takes a list of cells to its successor by applying the rule across a sliding window, and evolve takes an initial list of cells to a list of those evolving from it according to the rule. The cells are maintained as a list of booleans (0 and &) but are converted to characters for presentation in the example code.

def (gens n l)
prn l
repeat n
zap! gen l
prn l
def (gen l)
with (a nil b nil c l.0)
collect nil # won't insert paren without second token
each x cdr.l
shift! a b c x
yield (next a b c)
yield (next b c nil)
def (next a b c) # next state of b given neighbors a and c
if (and a c) not.b
(or a c) b
Output looks a little ugly:
ready! type in an expression, then hit enter twice. ctrl-d exits. gens 5 '(1 1 1 nil 1) (1 1 1 nil 1) (1 nil 1 1 nil) (nil 1 1 1 nil) (nil 1 nil 1 nil) (nil nil 1 nil nil) (nil nil nil nil nil)
More sophisticated
Computing the next generation becomes much cleaner once you invest a few LoC in a new datatype.
def (uca l) # new datatype: Uni-dimensional Cellular Automaton
(tag uca (list l len.l))
def (len l) :case (isa uca l) # how to compute its length
rep.l.1
defcoerce uca list # how to convert it to a list
(fn(_) rep._.0)
def (pr l) :case (isa uca l) # how to print it
each x l # transparently coerces to a list for iterating over
pr (if x "#" "_")
# (l i) returns ith cell when l is a uca, and nil when i is out-of-bounds
defcall uca (l i)
if (0 <= i < len.l)
rep.l.0.i
def (gens n l)
prn l
repeat n
zap! gen l
prn l
def (gen l)
uca+collect+for i 0 (i < len.l) ++i
yield (next (l i-1) l.i (l i+1))
# next state of b, given neighbors a and c
def (next a b c)
if (and a c) not.b
(or a c) b
Output is prettier now:
ready! type in an expression, then hit enter twice. ctrl-d exits. gens 10 (uca '(nil 1 1 1 nil 1 1 nil 1 nil 1 nil 1 nil 1 nil nil 1 nil nil)) _###_##_#_#_#_#__#__ _#_#####_#_#_#______ __##___##_#_#_______ __##___###_#________ __##___#_##_________ __##____###_________ __##____#_#_________ __##_____#__________ __##________________ __##________________ __##________________

var trans = "___#_##_"
var v = Fn.new { |cell, i| (cell[i] != "_") ? 1 : 0 }
var evolve = Fn.new { |cell, backup|
var len = cell.count - 2
var diff = 0
for (i in 1...len) {
/* use left, self, right as binary number bits for table index */
backup[i] = trans[v.call(cell, i - 1) * 4 + v.call(cell, i) * 2 + v.call(cell, i + 1)]
diff = diff + ((backup[i] != cell[i]) ? 1 : 0)
}
cell.clear()
cell.addAll(backup)
return diff != 0
}
var c = "_###_##_#_#_#_#__#__".toList
var b = "____________________".toList
while(true) {
System.print(c[1..-1].join())
if (!evolve.call(c,b)) break
}
- Output:

Or, using strings instead of lists:
fcn life1D(line){
right:=line[1,*] + "_"; // shift left, "_" fill
left :="_" + line[0,-1]; // shift right
Utils.Helpers.zipWith(
fcn(a,b,c){ (String(a,b,c) - "_") == "##" and "#" or "_" },
left,line,right).concat();
}
cells:="_###_##_#_#_#_#__#__";
do(10){ cells.println(); cells=life1D(cells); }
- Output:
