My personal game of life implementation

Game of Life (GOL)

Usage

• S Key: Pause
• A Key: Move Backward
  • Once the beginning state is reached, the simulation is switched forward and paused.
• D Key: Move Forward
• W Key: Step Forward
• Mouse Click: Flip Cell
  • Note that each cell must be flipped individually. Flipping cells is most effective when the simulation is paused.

Running GOL

The project is a static site so any http server that serves the index.html will do. I use and personally recommend simple-http-server. If you are using simple-http-server, just run (in the root directory of this project):

simple-http-server -i

• This project was created for Jim Mahoney's Coding Workshop class from the Fall of 2021.

• I was able to remove my dependency on Underscore.js using a few tips from You Don't Need Lodash/Underscore (primarily for the replacement of the range function).
