GameOfLife

A Python implementation of Conway's Game of Life with PyGame module.

Rules

1. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours survives.
2. Any dead cell with three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
3. All other live cells die in the next generation. Similarly, all other dead cells stay dead.

Example of GameOfLife usage

>>> life = GameOfLife.from_file('figures/glider.txt')

>>> life.curr_generation
[[0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
 [1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

>>> for _ in range(4):
...    life.step()

>>> life.curr_generation
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
 [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

>>> life.save('glider-4-steps.txt')
