The game only supports initial states with matrix dimensions of 80x60. You can change this in the main.py file editing the WIDTH and HEIGHT constants.
The game is not optimized for performance, it is just a proof of concept.
If you have the pygame module installed in your machine, just execute the following:
python3 main.py <execution mode> [random]Where <execution mode> can be:
auto: Automatic execution mode. It will run the game automatically until the user stops it or the game ends.
manual: Manual execution mode. It will run the game step by step (pressing any key) until the user stops it or the game ends.
And random refers to the initial state of the game. If it is present, the initial state will be random. Otherwise, it will be loaded from the initialState.txt file.
You can quit the game at any time by pressing the X button of the window.
If not, you will need to run the program inside the virtual environment. For doing it, execute the following command inside the root folder:
pipenv shellThen, execute the python program as specified above.
The initial state of the game is defined in the file initialState.txt. The file must contain a matrix of 0s and 1s, separated by a comma, where 0s represent dead cells and 1s represent alive cells.
For example:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0
0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0
0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0
Where cells [1,0], [1,3], [1,4], [2,1], [2,5], [3,2], [3,6] are alive and the rest are dead.
The output of the program is printed in a graphical window. The window will be updated every iteration (in auto or manual mode). The window will be closed when the game ends.
