# ESP32 Conway's Game of Life in Rust
Implementation of Conway's Game of Life Rust Bare Metal.
[](https://wokwi.com/projects/380370193649185793)
## Supported boards
### ESP32-S3-BOX-3 Minimal Implementation
- https://github.com/espressif/esp-box
The implementation is based on Rust no\_std, using mipidsi crate.
```
cd esp32-s3-box-3-minimal
cargo run --release
```
### ESP32-C6-LCD-1.47 Waveshare
[Rust Bare Metal no_std](https://developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/02/rust-esp-hal-beta/) with [Bevy ECS no_std](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/15460) on 1.47 inch [ESP32-C6 LCD Waheshare](https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-c6-lcd-1.47.htm) with DMA and framebuffer - [Conway's Game of Life](https://github.com/georgik/esp32-conways-game-of-life-rs/tree/main/esp32-c6-waveshare-1_47):
View the video [here](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e9d48ff7-b14c-4874-9521-fe59e915bc76).
The implementation is based on Rust no\_std and Bevy 0.15 no\_std, plus mipidsi crate
```
cd esp32-c6-waveshare-1_47
cargo run --release
```
### M5Stack Atom-S3
- https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/AtomS3
Controls: Press button under display to reset the game state (GPIO 41).

Installation of the toolchain:
```
cargo install espup
espup install --toolchain-version 1.85.0.0
source ~/export-esp.sh
```
Build:
```
cd m5stack-atom-s3
cargo run --release
```
