Interactive Conway's Game of Life in the terminal

Primary LanguageC

Seagull

Interactive Conway's GoL

Written in C and linked with the ncurses terminal ui library, manually click on a Cartesian coordinate in 1 of 6 possible windows to initiate a live cell. Then press a key (that key has not been determined) and watch the CA simulation.

Current State

Currently, you can install and run the simulation on a small terminal window without command-line arguments. This is the basic functionality as this project is in its infancy.

TODO

  • Add interactivity
  • stop infinite simulation (no command-line arg) when CA becomes stagnant
  • Embed python using python/c API for easier pattern creation
  • concurrent resizing windows
  • command-line options
  • extend ncurses and include prompts, menus, etc
  • debug
