Simple neurite growth

Discrete space simulator for neurite growth. The environment is a 8bit values field where a self avoiding random walker moves

Simulation scheme:

  1. Set the environment:

    • elements on the grid. Each neurite add itself to the grid when declared
    • Update grid: fieldCompute each cell in a range L from neurite's heads
  2. Move each neurite:

    • Elements move with different dynamics defined in dynamic.py
    • Moves end up a cell, the cell is checked:
      1. It s occupied with a neurite -> implement synapse
      2. It s occupied from itself prevous points
      3. It s free
  3. Update the field over the neurite's head, keeping only the minimum value for each cell,
    should work
