C implementation of the Game Of Life

Game Of Life

---

​ You must have heard about the famous game Game Of Life. So do you want to implement it by yourself and meantime practice your C programming skills ? Then spend some time on this tiny project. It only contains about 200 lines C code to create your own Game Of Life.

To see the results, first clone this project :

git clone https://github.com/PKUFlyingPig/GameOfLife.git

then choose one ppm format image you like and put it into testInputs/ folder(there are already some images in this directory).

then run ./frames.csh as follows :

./frames.csh <imagename> <rule> <frames> 

this script will use the image and the game rule you supply to create requested number of frames.

For example, to create the gif above, you can just run :

./frames.csh xkcd 0x1808 100

So what does the rule mean? And how I can get started ?

In fact, this is a project of UCB CS61C, you can go to their course website to get the start code and all the detailed guidence to finish your tiny GameOfLife !
