The Game of Life is a cellular automaton.
The project has been frozen indefinitely
Cellular Automaton - a simple interactive game Life for a visual representation of what it is.
Clone the repository, install all requirements and run the file run.py.
The Python interpreter version 3.11+ and preferably poetry
Install requirements with poetry:
poetry installClone this repository and navigate to it with the command:
git clone https://github.com/Qu1nel/CellularAutomaton.git
cd CellularAutomaton/If you have the make and poetry installed, you can run the game with the command:
make runOr
poetry run python run.pyOr you can simply run run.py using the python interpreter
python run.pypython3 run.pyFor full help with make commands, you can use the command:
make help| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| <SPACE> | pause of game |
Pressing the space bar will ensure that the game stops until the next key is pressed.
Also in the game it is possible to change the neighborhood calculation mode for a cell (number of counted neighbors) to "Moore neighborhood" and "Neumann neighborhood".
This can be done using two buttons on the screen, which can be minimized at will.
If your game crashes and you want to understand why this is happening, or maybe you just want to see the entire
event log, then specify the --logging or -L flag. This will allow the game to enable internal logging, which will
be saved to the debug.log file in the src/log directory (generated automatically).
python run.py --logging # Enable game loggingIf you want to disable the display of fps in the game in the upper right corner, then use the flag --hide-fps or -H
python run.py --hide-fps # Disable showing fps in gameIf you want to explicitly (because this parameter is set by default) enable the so-called Moore neighborhood that counts all 8 cell neighbors, use --Moore or -M flags.
python run.py --MooreIf you want to include the so-called Neumann neighborhood that allows the game to count only 4 neighbors for a cell, use --Neumann or -N flags.
python run.py --Neumann
