Game Of Life

Conway's game of life made in C++ using SFML

This is my first C++ project.

How to compile:

On linux:

  1. Get a c++ compiler(on Ubuntu/Ubuntu based distros : sudo apt install build-essential)
  2. Get SFML binaries(or you may build from it's source) goto https://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php and download the appropriate file.
  3. Extract SFML-2.5.1-linux-gcc-64-bit.tar.gz
  4. Copy the contents of SFML-2.5.1/lib/ to /usr/lib
  5. Copy the extracted folder SFML-2.5.1 to this repo.
  6. Run the script build-and-run.sh by using this command. 
    ./build-and-run.sh
    • This will create a executable called gameoflife.
    • You can run this any time but just double-clicking it.
