Game-of-Life-with-Pygame

This is Python implementation of John Conway's Game of Life.

Conway's Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton created by John Horton Conway in 1970. The game is a zero player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state. There are four rules of this game:

1. Underpopulation: Any live cell with has less than two neighbours dies and does not make it to the next generation.
2. Equilibrium: Any live cell with two or three live neighbours the cells stay alive and makes it to the next generation.
3. Overpopulation: Any live cell with more than three neighbours dies and does not make it to the next generation.
4. Reproduction: And dead cell with exactly three neighbours becomes a live cell.

How to Run

This project uses Python 3.9.9 and only requires two libraries: NumPy and pygame. You can run this project by writing python gameoflife.py in the terminal in the directory.

Available Keys:

• Space key will start or stop the animation.
• Down key will slow the animation speed.
• Up key will speed up the animation.
• R key will reset the board while in pause.
• F key will make all the cells alive.
• T key will generate random blocks of live cells on the screen.
• Escape will terminate the window.
• You can use your mouse to select or unselect points. If you click with the Left or Middle mouse button, it will make the cell alive, and if you click with the Right mouse button it will make the cell die.
