An implementation of [Conway's Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life) using [OPENRNDR](https://openrndr.org/) in Kotlin.

Inspired by [Golly](https://golly.sourceforge.io/) and the [Edwin Jakobs KotlinConf talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GysSoSwmLYo).

## Get Started

Download the latest [release](https://github.com/hbmartin/openrndr-game-of-life/releases) for your platform and use the [controls](#controls) to interact.



## Controls

- Click and drag on the canvas to create new life

- Scroll up and down to control generation time

- `space` to pause / resume the simulation

- `esc` to reset current pattern to the initial state

- `r` to reset to a randomly chosen pattern

- `c` to reset to a randomized canvas

- `s` to save the current state to an RLE / Golly file

- `l` to load a state from an RLE / Golly file

- `i` to toggle info text (generation # and FPS)

- (TODO) Press 'g' to toggle grid visibility

- (TODO) Press 'f' to toggle fullscreen mode

- `q` to quit the program

## Settings

- Press period `.` or comma `,` to open the settings panel

- Select a new background color

- Choose a new pattern

## Gradle tasks

 - `./gradlew run` runs the TemplateProgram (Use `gradlew.bat run` under Windows)

 - `./gradlew shadowJar` creates an executable platform specific jar file with all dependencies. Run the resulting program by typing `java -jar build/libs/.jar` in a terminal from the project root.

 - `./gradlew jpackageZip` creates a zip with a stand-alone executable for the current platform (works with Java 14 only)

## Cross builds

To create a runnable jar for a platform different from your current platform, use `./gradlew jar -PtargetPlatform=`, where `` is either `windows`, `macos`, `linux-x64`, or `linux-arm64`.
