canvas_turmite {aRtsy} R Documentation

## Draw Turmites

### Description

This function paints a turmite. A turmite is a Turing machine which has an orientation in addition to a current state and a "tape" that consists of a two-dimensional grid of cells.

### Usage

canvas_turmite(colors, background = "#fafafa", p = 0.5, iterations = 1e6,
resolution = 500, noise = FALSE)


### Arguments

 colors a character specifying the color used for the artwork. The number of colors determines the number of turmites. background a character specifying the color used for the background. p a value specifying the probability of a state switch within the turmite. iterations a positive integer specifying the number of iterations of the algorithm. resolution resolution of the artwork in pixels per row/column. Increasing the resolution increases the quality of the artwork but also increases the computation time exponentially. noise logical. Whether to add k-nn noise to the artwork. Note that adding noise increases computation time significantly in large dimensions.

### Details

The turmite algorithm consists of the following steps: 1) turn on the spot (left, right, up, down) 2) change the color of the square 3) move forward one square.

### Value

A ggplot object containing the artwork.
