# Conway's Game of Life

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/feffca94-4a83-4eb4-9729-ac8268d8db4a

`life` is a command line application that renders a [Conway's Game of Life][1]

simulation in your terminal window. The user can define their own custom initial

state or use one of the many [examples](examples/).

### Program Usage

Below is the program usage message that can be seen by running `life --help`:

```text

A visualization of Conway's Game of Life.

Usage: life [OPTIONS] 

Arguments:

    initial game board state

Options:

  -r, --refresh-rate-usec 

          delay between iterations in microseconds [default: 100]

  -h, --help

          Print help

  -V, --version

          Print version

```

The `INIT_STATE` argument is a path to a text file containing 2D coordinates

that define the initial state of the game board. The dimensions of the game

board are equal to the dimensions (width/height) of the terminal window.

Reference the [example](examples/) initial state configs when creating your own

config.
