Py of Life

Python implementation of Conway's Game of Life using no dependency other than Python's standard library.

Tested against Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.

Installation

No need to install anything else! If you've got Python 3.9+ on your system, then just clone the repo (or copy the content of py_of_life.py over to a local file).

Usage

python py_of_life.py <HEIGHT> <WIDTH> <ITERS>

The program needs three values to run, all of them integers greater than 0:

• A height N an a width M in order to create an NxM grid
• An amount of iterations / generations (20 generations will run per second)

For example:

python py_of_life.py 10 25 100

You also run python py_of_life.py --help to get these instructions printed to your CLI.
