Run glider and ask for confirmation at every tick:

python3 main.py -f examples/glider -c

Launch two gliders and save updated field to "two_gliders_new":

python3 main.py -f examples/two_gliders -s two_gliders_new

Field file format

First line — width (in cells)

Second line — height (in cells)

Other height lines — cells (width cells in each line)

<width>
<height>
<*width* cells> \
<*width* cells>  |
...               > *height* times
<*width* cells>  |
<*width* cells> /

Features

You can skip trailing spaces when creating a field. Parser would be automatically complete them.
