Rust Cellular Automata

An interactive SDL2 implementation of Conway's Game of Life

Installation

Clone the repo and navigate into it.

git clone https://github.com/ethanavatar/Rust-CA.git
cd Rust-CA/

Build the app using:

cargo build

Usage

Run the app using:

cargo run

A window will open with a random initial state and start simulating immediately.

You can also use:

• SPACE to pause the simulation
• ESCAPE to clear the current board
• R to create a new random board
• LEFT MOUSE to add or remove cells
• PERIOD to pause and step one generation at a time

By default, the window is 1200x1200 pixels and the game board is 200x200 cells. It runs as fast as it can without an FPS cap.
