## Game of Life

A Haskel implementation of a cellular automaton game. The game of life is a zero player game, thus, the way how the game process develops is determined by the game's initial state.

![](docs/screen-shot.png)

In this implementation of the game newly created cells are green, while those survived one or more rounds are of the default colour.

![](docs/animation.gif)

To change the game's initial state modify _init.txt_, while an asterisk means that a cell is alive, a space represents a dead cell. 

To execute the game:

```

runghc gameOfLife.hs

```

To compile and execute:

```

ghc gameOfLife.hs

./gameOfLife

```
