GameOfLife

Conway's Game of Life implemented in Lua (with the LÖVE framework). Also my first attempt at making something in Lua/LÖVE so have some mercy.

Requirements

• Lua
• LÖVE

Building

$ love current/directory/of/GameOfLife

Features

• Multiple GOL layers, the opacity of the layers is automatically changed depending on how many layers there are
• Take screenshots using the screenShotWrapper() function
• Listen to the pitch of the game (depends on how many cells are present, kinda)
• The hue of the cells is based on how long they've been alive, beyond 255 cycles the hue stays at 255.

Controls

• Pause the game using the space button
• Manually add cells by clicking on them (they turn up white)
• Manually reseed the games using the up button
• Manually progress the games using the down button (only useful in paused mode)

Todo

• Add a control for taking a screenshot, also place the screenshot in a more easily reachable location
• Make it possible to turn your GOL into a gif through a bash script (using convert)
