# conwaygo

Conway's Game of Life implementation

## Usage

```bash

$ go build cmd/life/life.go

$ ./life -h

Usage of ./life:

  -debug

      Display in debug mode

  -delay float

      Seconds between updates (default 0.2)

```

When the binary in run, you will be presented with a blank screen.  

Click on the terminal where you wish the seed live cells. You can do this at anytime, even after you have started the simulation.

### Keybindings

| Key         | Description                          |

| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |

| `space`     | Start and stop the simulation        |

| `Page Up`   | Increase the speed of the simulation |

| `Page Down` | Decrease the spped of the simulation |

| `ctrl`+`d`  | Enable debug mode.                   |

| arrow keys  | Move the viewport                    | 

In debug mode instead of displaying live cells, each tile will show the number living cells surrounding it.

*Note* This gif is a little out of date, now that the code is split up into a `pkg` and `cmd` directory, build the project by running `go build cmd/life/life.go`
