Built with

• C language
• CMake

Rules

The function for creating new generations follows some basic rules:

• Live cells with:

  • fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation. (< 2)
  • two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  • more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation. (> 3)

• Dead cells with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction

How to run it

Clone the repository and cd into it:

$ git clone https://github.com/gwyddie/game-of-life
$ cd game-of-life

Build and run the container:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose run app

Or, instead of using Docker, you can also build it in your own machine, using:

$ mkdir build && cd $_
$ cmake ..
$ make

The executable will be available at ./main (it will attempt to find data on relative path data/input.txt, so run it from project root).

That's all, thanks! :p
