Elementary cellular automaton
Created on Jan. 19, 2017
by Julien Palard
Build a program taking an integer as single parameter, .
This integer is a rule number in the Wolfram
code.
Your program will display a 79×40 table filled with # for ones (1s) and .
for zeroes (0s), as a result of running an elementary
automata for
the given rule number (the int parameter).
The first line will always be filled with zeroes except for a single
cell with a 1 right in the middle.
The "board" is a cylinder: on the left of the leftmost column is the rightmost
column, and vice-versa.
Here is an example, so you can check your implementation visually:

Don't forget to print something friendly if the human forgot to give
the rule number as a parameter of your program.
