A simple Arduino sketch for Conway's Game of Life. Uses my Conway library.
Code is hopefully self explanatory but:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| USE_SERIAL | Output over Serial Port |
| USE_LED | Output to LED matrix |
| get_state | get_state_wrapped or get_state_closed (or specify your own) |
| Initialize | Randomly? Or with a glider? |
| LIVE/ DEAD | String for Serial output |
| USE_GENERATION_LIMIT | Reset after GENERATION_LIMIT steps |
| USE_STALE_LIMIT | Reset if population doesn't change in STALE_LIMIT steps |
| ROWS | The number of rows to use |
| state | Change the type of state to change number of columns, if changed to uint64_t you need to change other instances of uint32_t to match |
| USE_STATS | Print STATS over Serial output (enable USE_SERIAL)! |
Running an 328p at 16Mhz a 32x32 board updates in <7ms (mean 4ms) without LED output, on a 64x64 board it runs in <75ms (enable the __CONWAY_OPTIMIZE_LARGE flag).
Sketch uses 3516 bytes (11%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 165 bytes (8%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1883 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
