The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, 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. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.
Clone the project, Open a terminal, and run:
irb bin/start.rb
Seed the game with a string of 0s and 1s.
Must be a string representing a square array.
Don't add quotes, just numbers separated by spaces!
Examples:
111 000 111
0000 0110 0110 000
01011 11011 10101 10101 01010
0s are dead cells 1s are living cells
In the command line, run bundle install
Then rubocop
Or rubycritic lib/
Run Unit Test: rspec in the command line
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by under-population.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
