Conway's Game of Life Simulation

This project is a simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life using p5.js, a JavaScript library for creative coding. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway, where each cell in a grid evolves based on a set of simple rules.

Demo


Getting Started

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/jcblanc2/Game-of-Life.git
cd Game-of-Life

  2. Open index.html in a web browser or use a local server to run the simulation.

Features

  • Random initialization of the grid with alive and dead cells.
  • Evolution of the grid according to the rules of Conway's Game of Life.
  • Display of time elapsed, population count, and generation number.

Usage

  • Starting the Simulation:

    • Open index.html in a web browser.
    • The simulation will start with a randomly generated initial state.

  • Controls:

    • No user controls implemented. The simulation evolves automatically.

Customization

  • Adjust cellSize variable in the script to change the size of each cell.
  • Modify createInitialState function to customize the initial grid configuration.
