This is my javascript implementation of the Game of Life (for more info, click here), created as a jQuery Plugin (based on jQuery v2.0.3 but it may work with previous versions).
I tried to create an interface as simple as possible, a wide set of customizable settings and interaction controls.
The package includes an implementation example with custom (but not required) CSS.
The script includes a demo with the basic "Glider" pattern that will travel endlessly across the grid. Also includes a "Edit" mode where the user is able to draw his/her own patterns and give them life.
Please feel free to inspect the code, comment, request updates or report bugs, I had a lot of fun coding this game :).
Note: I apologize in advance for the rawness of my code, I haven't had the time to optimize it and make the appropriate tests.
This project uses jQuery 2.0.3 which is only compatible with IE9 or later.
To run on IE8- you can try with a older version of jQuery, but I cannot assure it will fully work.
