Game of Life (by John Conway)

This repository is a recreation of the Game of Life, created by mathematician John Conway in 1970.

Game rules were created by using a matrix and displaying it using the Pygame engine.

How to run?

• Via .exe
  1. Install the exe file
  2. Run the game
• Via CLI
  1. Make sure you have Python3 and Pygame installed
  2. Go to the game directory
  3. Run main.py

Playing:

• Press Left-Click to draw a tile on the screen.
• Press Right-Click to delete a tile previously drawn.
• Hit Spacebar to start the simulation

Game of Life's rules: Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player game on a grid. Cells are alive or dead. They evolve based on the state of their 8 neighbors:

• A live cell with 2-3 neighbors survives.
• Any other live cell dies (lonely or overcrowded).
• A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes alive.

This simple rule set can lead to surprising complexity! See more in its Wikipedia article
