Seagull!

A "playground" for cellular automata. Initially just Conway's Game of Life (hence the name, C GoL...)
In C++ with raw OpenGL :D

Currently available controls:

• ESC: Closes the application;
• ENTER: Start/stop simulation;
• SPACE: Expand menu(s);
• M1 / LEFT MOUSE: Make cell "alive" at cursor;
• SHIFT + M1: "Kill" cell at cursor;
• R: Randomly fills the grid with "live" cells;
• C: Clears the grid;
• X: Toggle cursor shape;
• 1: Brian's Brain Automaton;
• 2: Day & Night Automaton;
• 3: Disease Automaton (a variation on Life);
• 4: Live Free or Die Automaton;
• 5: Life Automaton;
  • P: Toggles plague mode (Only available when Life is active);
• 6: Rule 0 Automaton - Kinda Snowflake-y;
• 7: Rule 180 Automaton - Vertical Rule90;
• 8: Rule 90 Automaton;
• 9: Seeds Automaton;
• 0: Sand Simulation;
  • W: Toggles between Water and Sand cells;
  • CTRL + Click: Immovable cells;
• "+": Step once through simulation*;
• SHIFT + "+": Continuously step through simulation*;
• ARROW UP & DOWN: Increase/decrease tickrate (higher is slower);
• ARROW RIGHT & LEFT: Increase/decrease cell size (SHIFT + KEY increases more per click);
• "." & ",": Increase/decrease cursor radius;

* GLFW reads this as GLFW_KEY_EQUAL on MacOs so it might not be the same key depending on your layout.

Build instructions -- REQUIRES CMAKE, g++ COMPILER AND GLFW3

Copy into your terminal while on the parent directory:

cmake -B build --fresh && cmake --build build

If everything goes as it's supposed to, you should find the built executable in the bin directory. If you're on Windows, good luck!

To run it:

./bin/cgol
