A simple implemention of Conway's Game of Life using SDL2.
- Spacebar: Toggle seed mode to change the state of cells in the world.
- Right click: Toggle seed mode.
- Left click: Toggle the state of a cell. Only works in seed mode.
- 'F' key: Speed up the simulation to a min of 1/10th per second.
- 'S' key: Slow down the simulation to a max of once per second.
By default the simulation updates twice per second but can be adjusted in 0.1 second increments using the 'F' and 'S' keys. This is capped to the range of [0.1, 1.0]. The frame rate is capped to 30 FPS.
Run setup.bash to download the SDL2 dependency to the vendor directory
then run build_mac.bash.
This assumes you have Visual Studio 2017 or greater installed on your machine.
- First open a Visual Studio developer command prompt. The most straight forward way to do this is hit the Windows key to search and start typing "command". The search will show several options. Pick the one that specifies to build in x64 (e.g. "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 20XX").
- Navigate to the root directory of this project.
- Run
setup.batto download the SDL2 dependency. This assumes a more recent version of Windows (2018 or later) that comes with curl installed. - Run
build.bat.
I currently don't have a Linux environment to test things but setup.bash
should work without changes. To build you will have to modify build_mac.bash
to remove the MacOS specifics.
