1 | # Overview # |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Program to breed N generations of surreal numbers and arrange them in order. | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | # Status # | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Fully functional and tested on Debian 10.9 with Go 1.16.3. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | # Usage # | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Sample output is shown below for four generations. The vertical axis plots the | |
| 12 | numberline from smallest to largest and the horizontal axis plots generation. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | % ./ch1-breeding-numbers -generations 4 | |

| 16 | . . aag = <---|aac> | |
| 17 | . . . aal = <aag|aac> | |
| 18 | . aac = <---|aaa> | |
| 19 | . . . aam = <aac|aad> | |
| 20 | . . aad = <aac|aaa> | |

| 27 | . . . aaq = <aab|aaj> | |
| 28 | . . aaj = <aab|---> | |
| 29 | . . . abd = <aaj|---> | |
| 30 | After 4 generations, the universe contains 15 numbers. | |
| 31 | If output looks poor, ensure tabstop is eight spaces and that output doesn't wrap. |
