# LifeTerm
Game of life editor right on your terminal because why not? 🤷
I use the [hashlife](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashlife) algorithm to represent the universe and update cells.
# How to
### RUN
> The grid is based on the screen size of your terminal, so make sure you larger your screen before run
### Build
`make lifeterm`
### Run
Init an empty world
`./lifeterm.o`
Lifeterm is currently support to load pattern in Macrocell(.mc) format. Just type:
`./lifeterm.o {path}`
