# John Conway's Game of Life 

## Description

Implementation of the [John Conway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Horton_Conway "Wikipedia Article")'s [Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life "Wikipedia Article") based on terminal for Linux Operating Systems

## Installation

```

git clone https://github.com/chibby0ne/gameoflife

cd Game_of_Life/CMake

cmake .

make

```

## Usage

```

cd bin/

./gameoflife [OPTIONS] [arguments]...

```

### Options

The available options are:

* `-w` _value_ Sets width of the terminal to be used the simulation (default: width of terminal window)

* "-h` _value_ Sets height of the terminal to be used the simulation (default: height of terminal window)

* `-r` _value_ Sets refresh time of the terminal in useconds (default: 0.2 sec) (time between generations of cells)

* `-p` _value_ Sets initial probability of living cell in percentage (default: 10)

* `-h`         Shows help 

## Implementation

* C language

* Random function seed uses system time

* adjustable refresh rate

* adjustable probability of live/dead cell for initial generation

* adjustable width/height of universe (place where cells live/die)

## Contributions

Contributions and pull requests are welcome. As long as you comply with these guideline: 

* Adhere as much as possible to the existing coding style, mainly, everything that could have curly braces has them

* Good descriptive variable names
