Bristol COMS20001_2019 Concurrent Computing (Yr 2),
Coursework 1: Game of Life
Pair project: @jacob-pro @michaelwagstaff
Confirmed mark: 82
Various concurrent implementations of Conway's Game of Life.
The primary stage of the assignment was to implement the game using Go channels in a halo-exchange system, the secondary stage allowed us to choose our own method with the goal of making it as fast as possible. We took an unconventional but very fast approach - writing the core logic in Rust and linking it as a static library!
To run in Goland/Jetbrains add a go build build configuration in the src directory.
Make sure to enable run.processes.with.pty in the registry so that termbox will work
- Install Rust https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
To use cgo on Windows requires the Rust library be compiled with the GCC/GNU toolchain.
rustup toolchain install stable-gnu- In an MINGW64 terminal
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc - Install GNU make
pacman -S make
Build: cd src && make
Running tests:
go test -args -i "halo"go test -bench . -args -i "halo"
