Conway's Game of Life in PowerShell

This project is a PowerShell script implementation of Conway's Game of Life, a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Horton Conway. The game simulates the life cycle of cells on a grid based on a set of rules. This implementation features a grid where cells evolve through generations, showcasing how complex patterns can emerge from simple rules.

Features

• Randomized initial state for the grid.
• Customizable grid size.
• Continuous simulation until manually stopped.
• Display of the grid in the console, with live cells represented as blocks.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell Core 6.0 and above.
• A terminal that supports Unicode characters for the best display experience.

Installation

No installation is necessary. Just clone this repository or download the .ps1 script to your local machine.

Running the Simulation

1. Open your PowerShell terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory containing the GameOfLife.ps1 script.
3. Execute the script by running:

.\GameOfLife.ps1
