Life, in Rust

This is a programming exercise to implement Conway's Game of Life in Rust.

The game is rendered using the sdl2 library.

Building

Call cargo build from the command line. Because we are using sdl2 for rendering, you may need to install development tools like libsdl2-dev or gcc. Follow the instructions in the sdl2 readme if you encounter any problems.

Run

Call cargo run to run the program, which will open a window and begin playing Life with a board seeded randomly. It should look something like this:

At any time, you may press Esc to close the window.
