Grany-3. The cellular automaton simulator. [ home ] [ download ] [ faq ] [ doc ] [ screenshots ]

Grany-3 was at the beginning a program designed for our University course at INSA Rennes, France.

Because we wanted to use state-of-the-art free software tools, it rapidly became important to me to produce a freshmeat release, in order to spread the software. It proved to fail completely: for more than 10 years of existence, I am unsure if more than one person ever used it.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.

Quick requirements:

• A good 'make' program and C++ compiler.

• The Gimp Toolkit : grany-2.0.0 uses gtkmm-2.0 (tested with 2.2.12). It will NOT work with latest gtkmm (gtkmm-2.4 or more recent).

If these software aren't installed on your machine, you'll only have to freely download them (they're under GNU licence) and install them.

I would like to see some screenshots of the graphical user interface.

Quick! Take me to the download section!

• 2010-06-07: version 2.0.3.

  Small bugs fixed, recording feature added.

• 2010-03-18: version 2.0.2.

  Small bugs fixed.

• 2010-01-22: version 2.0.1.

  Compile with nowadays software (except gtkmm - it needs gtkmm-2.0 - is it me or the nice folks at gtkmm didn't bother to write an upgrade guide to gtkmm-2.4 which contains incompatible API?).

• 2003-04-08: version 2.0.0.

  Compatible with gtkmm-2.2 API.

• 2002-05-14: version 1.0.1.

  Compatible with g++-3.1.

• 2000-08-14: version 1.0.0.

  Stabilization release. Now compatible with gtkmm-1.2 API.

• 1999-08-30: version 0.9.1.

  It's basically a bunch of minor improvements, and some medium-urgency bugfixes.

• 1999-08-07: first official release, version 0.9.

  It has been tested on Sparc/Solaris 2.5, UltraSparc, PC/Gnu/Linux, and Alpha/Gnu/Linux platforms, but it should work on any platform where GTK has been ported, including PC/Microsoft/Windows. An automatic configuration process "à la GNU" makes the things very easy.

• 1999-06-18: official end of our University project.

  But the program is not yet usable, and it's a pity because it's 5% more work from beeing usable. I'll take some time to bring a correct version to the Internet.

• 1998-09-25: official start of our University project.

  We don't know yet that the project will lead to a free software release, but we're 7 young french computer science students and we want to do our best!
