Conway's Game of Life - Jakt

This is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life in jakt using SDL2 to draw to the screen.

Compile and run

1. Clone and build jakt
2. Install SDL2 for your platform (out of scope for this readme).
3. jakt main.jakt -l SDL2 -I /usr/local/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.1/include/SDL2 -L /usr/local/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.1/lib -O -o life
4. build/life

Usage

Tab starts and stops the simulation.
Spacebar stops the simulation and puts you into "Selection Mode".
In "Selection Mode", you can move the selection with the arrow keys and toggle a cell with Enter.

Config

In config.jakt there are some things you can change based on your liking.
If there is not a predefined color you like, you can use Color::custom(r, g, b, a).
