# Conway's Game of Life
Matrix greenrain screensavers are getting old!
This is a fairly simple implementation of Conway's celular automaton *The Game of Life*, directly available from the terminal. Now there is a tiny living world in your workspace :3
Right now the only initial configuration is *The R-pentomino* (this one):
```
#
##
##
```
## Usage
Execute:
```sh
conway
```
Options:
| flag | description |
|-----------|------------------------------------------|
|`-c [char]`| The character representing a living cell |
|`-d [int]` | The delay time between ticks |
|`-r` | Randomizes the initial generation |
|`-l [int]` | Limits the number of generations |
|`-h` | Show help |
Other example:
```sh
conway -c 8 -d 25
```
## Install
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ivaaane/conway.git
cd conway
sudo make install
```
## Roadmap
- [x] Thing works.
- [ ] More default configurations.
- [ ] Option to input custom configuration.
- [x] Option to limit the number of generations.
- [x] Option to randomize the initial configuration.
- [ ] Color options.
