# gol - conway's game of life version: 0.2.2 gol is an implementation of conway's game of life that runs in a terminal emulator. there are two states: alive and dead, and each generation uses the number of neighbors to determine the state of each cell. a dead cell surrounded by exactly 3 live cells will spawn. a live cell will stay alive if it is surrounded by 2 or 3 other cells, otherwise it dies. each generation uses the last generations map to create the next map. ### build and install: $ make && sudo make install ### usage: run gol with base parameters: $ gol change size of map: $ gol -x [columns] -y [rows] use ascii only mode: $ gol -a change initial distribution weight: $ gol -w [int] change time interval between steps: $ gol -t [ms] use a file as input: $gol -f [file] when using a file as input, gol uses any non-whitespace character as a live cell. if the given file is larger than the map, gol will simply fit what it can on the map.
