my first ever attempt at TDDing Conway's Game of Life

Conway's Game of Life

This is my first ever attempt at TDDing Conway's Game of Life. I have never tried creating it before.

For this exercise, I looked only at the intro and rules sections on Wikipedia and watched an interview with John Conway himself describing the game.

On this initial attempt, I am using RSpec and Ruby.

NOTE: I created and merged branches for each iteration, but lost much of my earlier merge history. This was due to my having to do an interactive rebase to fix a typo in one of my earlier commit messages.

To Do

• create back-end implementation
  • complete the initial implementation with RSpec and Ruby
  • refactor the initial implementation
  • TDD the game in JavaScript
  • TDD the game in Elixir
• create front-end implementation
  • create front-end implementation using the Shoes gem
  • create front-end implementation using HTML5 Canvas
  • create front-end implementation using React
  • create front-end implementation using Elm
