Game Of Life

Reference: Wikipedia: Game of Life and Wikipedia: Cellular Automata

This is a simple implementation of the game of life in a finite space using c++ and opengl.

With finite space I mean that the cells will interact with the border of the window as if their world ends there.

Controls

c: clear screen
s: start simulation
r: randomize cells

mouse click: toggle cell
mouse drag: revive cells

# models
1: glider gun
2: acron
