amoebajs v1.1.0

AmoebaJS

AmoebaJS is a linear constraint solver for the web. It's based on a WebAssembly compilation of Xavier Wang's Amoeba C library, bound with an idiomatic JavaScript interface.

AmoebaJS is provided in its original source as ES6 + LLVM bytecode, a web distribution which attaches the module to window.amoeba, and a NodeJS distribution which can be require()d. Additional targets may be built for by users; consult the webpack config for some starting points.

Installation

You can use NPM or Yarn to install:

$ npm install amoebajs

Usage

Import and create a solver:

let amoeba = require('amoebajs/node')

let solver = new amoeba.Solver()

Set up variables:

let v1 = solver.newVariable(), v2 = solver.newVariable()

Set up constraints, and call .add() to enable them:

v1.mustEqual(v2.divide(2).subtract(4)).add()

Suggest a value for one variable:

v1.suggest(10)

Read variable values:

console.log("v1 = " + v1.value) // v1 = 10
console.log("v2 = " + v2.value) // v2 = 28
