Wireworld/Smalltalk

From Rosetta Code

This is a flexible implementation of Wireworld. It was also my first Smalltalk program, which may explain why it is so large.

This code is part of jwgif. jwgif actually produces animated gifs of wireworld simulations. Hence, here is an animated GIF of the example, presented in the task description for Wireworld:

Works with: gst version 3.2.1
Object subclass: #Conductor.

Conductor comment:
'I am a Wireworld conductor.  The next state is an electron Head if there are 1 or 2 electron Heads nearby.'.
