This is a CUDA implementation of this project by Hunar Ahmad. From the orginal repository:
A simple program to simulate primitive Artificial Life using simple rules of attraction or repulsion among atom-like particles, producing complex self-organzing life-like patterns
This projet requires having a CUDA capable GPU with at least Compute Capability 2.0, the CUDA Toolkit installed and glut.
git clone https://github.com/etabeta1/life.git
cd life
make
make run
If you want to print the time took by your GPU to compute every single frame, just uncomment the #define PRINT_TIME line at hte top of the main.cu file.
The simulation parameters are hardcoded, you can find and modify them in the getInteractionConstant function.
The parameters present right now are from a random simulation.
You can change also the number of particles, the size of the windows and more by changing the #define lines at the top of the main.cu file.
