Game of Life Screensaver

This repository contains a screensaver based on the popular cellular automaton, Conway's Game of Life, implemented in Rust using the Raylib game development library.

Description

The screensaver displays an implementation of Game of Life, which is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

The game is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. The visualizations can result in interesting patterns and dynamics within the grid.

Installation

1. Install Rust and the Cargo package manager if you haven't already.

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/GKaszewski/screensaver.git
   

3. Build the screensaver:

   cd screensaver
   cargo build --release
   

4. Run the screensaver:

   cargo run
   

5. Replace the extension of the executable with .scr and copy it to the C:\Windows\System32 directory.

Usage

Simply run the screensaver with cargo run. It will create a window and start displaying the Game of Life.

Any user activity (mouse) will exit the screensaver.
