## Salis.py: Viewer/Controller Interface for the Salis Simulator
*Salis.py* is a text user interface (TUI) written in Python, designed to
communicate with the *SALIS* library via the `ctypes` module. To run it, you
must have Python3 installed and in your PATH, as well as the Cython package
installed.
### Running SALIS
You may run SALIS in one of the following ways. Top example creates a new
simulation of order 16 and gives it the name `./bin/sims/16.sim`. The second
one attempts to load an existing save-file from the `./bin/sims` directory.
```bash
$ ./bin/salis.py new --order 16 --file 16.sim
$ ./bin/salis.py load --file 16.sim
```
### Keyboard commands
|Key |Action |
|:---|------:|
|Left/Right arrow |Previous/next page |
|Up/Down arrows |Scroll page up/down if it can't fit terminal |
|`wasd` |Scroll/pan (PROCESS and WORLD page) |
|`Q` |Scroll to top (PROCESS and WORLD page) |
|`A` |Scroll to left (PROCESS page) |
|`zx` |Zoom in/out (WORLD page) |
|`i` |Toggle IP view (WORLD page) |
|`op` |Select previous/next organism |
|`g` |Toggle data/gene view (PROCESS page) |
|`c` |Open console (pauses simulation) |
|Space |Run/pause simulation |
|`fl` |Select first/last organism |
|`k` |Scroll/go to selected (PROCESS and WORLD page) |
|`X` |Toggle hex/decimal value printing |
|Numbers `[1..0]` |Cycle simulation `2^((n-1) % 10)` steps |
|Enter |Activate cursor (WORLD page) |
### Console commands
The console opens up when `c` is pressed. Commands, with their respective
parameters separated by whitespace, may be written in order to modify or
control some aspects of the simulation.
|Command |Arg. 1 |Arg. 2+ |Description |
|:-------|:------|:-------|-----------:|
|`q \| quit` |--- |--- |Save and quit simulation |
|`q! \| quit!` |--- |--- |Quit without saving |
|`i \| input` |genome |addresses |Write genome into given addresses |
|`c \| compile` |file |addresses |Compile genome on file into addresses |
|`n \| new` |size |addresses |Initialize new organism(s) into addresses |
|`k \| kill` |--- |--- |Kill organism on bottom of queue |
|`e \| exec` |command |--- |Execute python string as command |
|`s \| scroll` |value |--- |Scroll to Nth process or memory address |
|`p \| process` |id |--- |Select process by ID |
|`r \| rename` |name |--- |Give simulation a new name |
|`s \| save` |--- |--- |Save simulation |
|`a \| auto` |interval |--- |Set simulation's auto-save interval |
### Color Legend
In WORLD view, as well as in PROCESS view (when gene mode is selected), each
cell is colored according to the following legend:
|Background color |Meaning |
|:----------------|-------:|
|BLACK |Non-allocated cell |
|BLUE |Allocated cell |
|CYAN |Start of memory block |
|WHITE |IP(s) currently at address |
|YELLOW |Main memory block of selected organism |
|GREEN |Child memory block of selected organism |
|MAGENTA |SP of selected organism |
|RED |IP of selected organism |
|
