This is a simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life.
- Pause simulation
- Edit grid while simulation is running
- Control length of intervals between generations
- Generate random grids
- Show populations/neighbors of each cell
- Grid wrapping
I have features planned for the future such as:
- Resizable window
- Grid that resizes with the window
- Generate popular patterns (Acorn, Glider Gun, etc.)
- Infinite grid with zooming
- Support for other cellular automata (That might be just a whole 'nother program by then)
- L-click/R-click = create/erase cells
- Mouse Scroll or Arrow Keys = adjust interval length
- Space = Pause
- S = Step
- H = Toggle Help/Info
- C = Clear Grid*
- R = Generate Random Grid*
- P = Toggle Population**
- G = Toggle Gridlines**
- W = Toggle Wrapping
*resets counter
**affects performance
This program was written with LÖVE. You can download LÖVE at their website.
Information on building LÖVE executables for Windows, OSX, and Linux can be found here.
TL;DR for lazy Windows users like me:
> copy /b love.exe+gameoflife.love gameoflife.exe
Completed builds can be downloaded from here. Note at this time, only Windows builds are available.
The current version is 0.3.0.
