NAME

Spreadsheet::HTML::Presets::Conway - Generate Conway's Game of Life in HTML table cells' background.

DESCRIPTION

This is a container for Spreadsheet::HTML preset methods. These methods are not meant to be called from this package. Instead, use the Spreadsheet::HTML interface:

use Spreadsheet::HTML;
my $generator = Spreadsheet::HTML->new( data => \@data );
print $generator->conway;

# or
use Spreadsheet::HTML qw( conway );
print conway( data => \@data );

METHODS

  • conway( wechsler, on, off, colors, fade, interval, jquery, %params )

    Game of life. From an implementation i wrote back in college.

    conway( on => 'red', off => 'gray' )

    Set the timer with interval (defaults to 200 miliseconds).

    conway( interval => 75 )

    If you have Encode::Wechsler installed then you can preload the game board with any valid Wechsler Code:

    conway( wechsler => 'xp3_0ggmligkcz32w46' )

    Some codes require additional padding in order to sustain properly.

    conway( wechsler => 'xp30_ccx8k2s3zy3103y531e8', pad => 2 )

    Padding defaults to 1, so you may turn it off if you don't need it:

    conway( wechsler => 'xp2_25a4owo4a52zy01221', pad => 0 )

    If you have Color::Spectrum installed then you can activate a fading effect like so:

    conway( on => '#FF0000', off => '#999999', fade => 1 )

# color names via Color::Library
conway( on => 'red', off => 'gray', fade => 1 )

    You can also load a file and pre-populate a game grid if you know which color will be used as alpha. This example uses #F8F8F8 and tweaks the block size up to 16:

    conway( file => 'conway.png', alpha => '#f8f8f8', block => 16 )

    The alpha param is available whenever you supply an image file.

    Uses Google's jQuery API unless you specify another URI via the jquery param. Javascript will be minified via Javascript::Minifier if it is installed.
