# Conway's Game of Life in C 

This project is a implementation of Conway's Game of Life in C. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It's a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. Despite its simplicity, the Game of Life is Turing complete and can simulate a universal constructor or any other Turing machine.

## Learning Objectives

- Understanding C semantics

- Implementing algorithms to simulate cellular automata

- memory management and dynamic data structures

- Understanding of the compilation and linking phases in C

## How the Game of life looks like



    






### The no player game



    






## If you want to try out the simulation 

- Download 



   gameOfLife.zip



- Download, extract and run the main.exe file 

- This might throw out some warnings! 

## If you want to try this out!

To run the program, you'll need: 

- A C compiler

- SDL2 library and development files

- SDL2_ttf library and development files
