Karumi / KataCoroutines

Transform this game-of-life sequential implementation to a parallel version with Kotlin coroutines

Kata Coroutines in Kotlin

• We are here to practice the usage of Coroutines.
• We are going to use Kotlin.
• We are going to practice pair programming.

---

Getting started

This repository contains a Kotlin implementation of the Conway's Game of Life

The code is really simple and it's just a naive implementation of the algorithm. It is sequential, that means that for every single generation it calculates the value of each cell for the next generation, one by one.

To verify the correct behaviour of your code you can execute:

./gradlew runGameOfLife

Tasks

Your task as a Kotlin Developer is to transform the implementation to make it parallel. You will use coroutines to achieve it.

Considerations

If you get stuck, with-coroutines branch contains the finished kata.
