An implementation of the Game of Life

Lifeee – An implementation of the Game of Life

I realized this application to keep learning Rust, discover the front-end library Yew, and because I’m a big fan of John Conway’s Game of Life. Please consider it always a work-in-progress.

Features

• Draggable & zoomable infinite grid
• Adjustable speed of simulation
• Library of patterns extracted from the official Lexicon

Work-in-progress features

• Better support for mobile (pinch-and-zoom)
• Sexier view of the pattern library (descriptions, search, etc.)
• Make the view follow the displayed pattern
• Draw your own pattern on the grid
• Compose several patterns in a simulation
• Import & export RLE files

Run locally

To start the application locally, run the following commands:

Use nightly:

rustup default nightly && rustup update

Install trunk and wasm-bingen-cli:

cargo install trunk wasm-bindgen-cli

Add wasm32-unknown-unknown target:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

Run the application using trunk:

trunk serve
