Conway's game of life

This is an implementation of the Conway's game of life using pygame.

The Universe is circular : left border touch the right one, top border touch the bottom one.

Many games are implemented, the rules come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life.

I've only implemented "simple" games, using the 8 cells around the current cell.

Available Games

• conway classic
• HighLife
• Day&Night
• Immigration (With colors !)
• QuadLife (more colors !)
• Life without death (Flakes)
• 34 Life B34/S34
• Seeds
• Diamoeba B35678/S5678
• 2x2 B36/S125
• Morley B368/S245
• Anneal B4678/S35678

Installation

Using pip

$ cd /path/to/the/projects
