CuBFF

This project provides a (optionally) CUDA-based implementation of a self-modifying soup of programs which show emergence of self-replicators. Most experiments in the "Life on Computational Substrates: How Self Replicators Arise from Simple Interactions" paper (arxiv link (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.19108) were done using this code.

Run instructions

Compile the code by running make (for the CUDA-enabled version) or make CUDA=0.

You can then run a simulation, for example with

bin/main --lang bff_noheads

The file cubff.py provides an example of how to use the Python bindings.
