This project is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life, a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway.
The Game of Life is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.
This implementation includes a visual grid for users to interact with, allowing them to set up initial states for the Game of Life.
To install the Game of Life, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Twintersh/game-of-life.git - Navigate into the project directory:
cd game-of-life - This program uses the SDL2 library, you can download it with :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libsdl2-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libsdl2-2.0
To run the Game of Life, use the following command: make run
You can set cells simply by clicking, and left click to remove them.
r key stand to set screen as a random array of cells
c key stand to clear every cells on the screen
