This is a simple, and probably naïve, implementation of Conway's Game of Life, written in Go.
The version on master uses NCurses through the termbox-go
library. The go get command below will fetch it, if you don't already have it.
Next, get this code and install it
go get github.com/joeygibson/life
and you will have an executable called life in the $GOPATH/bin directory.
Just typing life will run a game with all parameters set to their defaults. You can run life -h to get a list of options and what their defaults are.
