# Conway's Game of Life

[![Maintainability](https://api.codeclimate.com/v1/badges/24df6590869950d2dea1/maintainability)](https://codeclimate.com/github/ggiuffre/conway/maintainability) [![Test Coverage](https://api.codeclimate.com/v1/badges/24df6590869950d2dea1/test_coverage)](https://codeclimate.com/github/ggiuffre/conway/test_coverage)

A JavaScript implementation of Conway's

[Game of Life](https://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life)

with a simple HTML canvas.

## Preview

Check out a demo at

[https://ggiuffre.github.io/conway/](https://ggiuffre.github.io/conway/).

## Usage

Download `conway.js`

from this repository.

Add an HTML `canvas` element and a `script` element pointing to `conway.js`:

```html

Stop using IE 8!

```

Fire up the game with this additional `script`:

```html

	const canvas = document.querySelector('#conway');

	const width = canvas.width = canvas.parentElement.clientWidth;

	const height = canvas.height = canvas.parentElement.clientHeight;

	const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

	const game = new Game(ctx, width, height);

	game.setRandomState();

	game.start();

```

If you don't want the game to be full-page, make sure to remove

`canvas.parentElement.clientWidth`/`Height` from the script above,

and set the width and height of your `canvas` element with CSS.
