# game-of-life

JavaScript implementation of Conway's Game of Life

## Usage

Requires Node.js and NPM. To install the required dependencies:

```

npm install

```

To run with a randomly generated seed grid:

```

node gameoflife.js

```

To run with a custom seed grid:

```

node gameoflife.js beacon.txt

```

## Custom seed grids

Custom seed grids should be a plain text file using 0 and 1 for dead and living cells respectively. Line breaks are used to separate rows. For example:

```

000000

011000

011000

000110

000110

000000

```

[This article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life#Examples_of_patterns) gives examples of some common patterns that can be used to test the game.
