Command line implementation for game of life

GofL

Command line implementation for Conway's Game of Life

Rules for the Game of Life:

birth - empty cell with 3 neighbors
survival to the next step - 2 or 3 neighbors
death from overpopulation - more than 3 neighbors
death from loneliness - less than 2 neighbors

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run:

Run 20 by 20 field with 40% live cells for 3 iterations with in-line animation at 0.5 sec per frame.

python life.py -s 20 -d 40 -fd 0.5 -i 3

Help

python life.py -h

usage: life.py [-h] [-s SIZE] [-d CELL_DENSITY] [-na] [-fd FDELAY] [-i ITERS]
               [-rn RNSEED]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SIZE, --size SIZE  size of square game field
  -d CELL_DENSITY, --cell_density CELL_DENSITY
                        percent of live cells at start
  -na, --noanimation    run without command line animation
  -fd FDELAY, --fdelay FDELAY
                        animation frame delay
  -i ITERS, --iters ITERS
                        number of game repeats
  -rn RNSEED, --rnseed RNSEED
                        select random seed to start
