A simple Game Of Life demo using the Blessings terminal lib

Project description

Conway is a dead-simple implementation of Conway’s Game Of Life using my Blessings terminal library. It detects your terminal size and color depth and blits a lovely cellular automaton for your ogling pleasure.

Features

  • Simple implementation

  • Pretty colors

  • Few calories

  • Nudges itself out of repetitive patterns

Rather than having a zillion features, Conway focuses on clarity of implementation. It’s fun to hack on. Try implementing different wrap parameters for next_board!

Getting it running

pip install conway
conway.py

You should see life explode before your eyes. When you’re done, hit contol-C, and it’ll clean up nicely after itself.

Kudos

Ripped off a really elegant implementation of the algorithm from Jack Diedrich (and ruined it).
