cellular automata
Hi I am trying to implement a general purposed cellular automata library in mojo and want to use opengl to render the grid. few questions :
1. is opengl or any famous low level/fast GPU based graphics library supported ? if not would you think I would run into backwards compatibility problems if i use the pyopengl library ?
2. is GPU level SIMD going to be supported soon ? because as far as i'm aware the current SIMD parallelization happens on the cpu level only.
thank you

1. There's currently no stable C ffi so your options are:
a. use Python interop
b. use the unstable C ffi knowing your thing will break eventually
c. write out to a video file like a gif. You'd have the implement the format yourself though
2. They've mentioned somewhere they'll have something to say on GPU support "soon"™️. Maybe at modcon if we're lucky
