ofxGameOfLife

openFrameworks addon of Conway's Game of Life.

I'm working on a terminal-based Game of Life oF app, so I thought having a general purpose ofx implementation would be useful. This addon is based on Chris Roby's implementation, which can be found at https://github.com/croby/conway-of.

The main abstraction of ofxGameOfLife is the grid system. The grid can be retrieved with game.getGrid(), while individual cells can be retrieved with game.getCell(i, j).

Developed and tested under openFrameworks v0.10.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Example:

declare ofxGameOfLife at ofApp.h:

ofxGameOfLife game;

then setup the game, update and draw at ofApp.cpp:

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::setup(){
    int cellSize = 6;

    game.setup(ofGetWidth(), ofGetHeight(), cellSize);
    game.gliderGun(ofGetWidth()/3/cellSize, ofGetHeight()/2/cellSize);
}


//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::update(){
    game.update();
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::draw(){
    int cellWidth = 6;
    int cellHeight = 6;

    for (int i=0; i<game.getCols(); i++) {
		for (int j=0; j<game.getRows(); j++) {
            cell thisCell = game.getCell(i, j);
			ofSetColor(150, 150, 150);
			ofNoFill();
			ofRect(i*cellWidth, j*cellHeight, cellWidth, cellHeight);
            if (thisCell.currState == true) {
				ofSetColor(thisCell.color.r, thisCell.color.g, thisCell.color.b);
				ofFill();
				ofRect(i*cellWidth, j*cellHeight, cellWidth, cellHeight);
				ofNoFill();
			}
		}
	}
}
