GoLPy is an efficient Conway's Game of Life implemented in Python using NumPy.

## Example Output

The following GIF can be generated using the command:

```sh

life --demo glidergun --out glider_gun.gif --ppc 10 --pos TL -W60 -H40

```

![The Gosper Glider Gun](glider_gun.gif)

## Installation

```sh

pip install golpy

```

## Usage

```sh

usage: life [-h] (-i GRID_INPUT | -d DEMO) [-o FILE | --debug-print]

            [-W WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT] [-M MAX_GEN] [--ppc PIXELS] [-P POSITION]

            [-p]

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -i GRID_INPUT, --in GRID_INPUT

                        Parse the initial grid from 

  -d DEMO, --demo DEMO  Try one of the provided demos: one of 'glidergun' and

                        'glidergen'

  -o FILE, --out FILE   Place the output into 

  --debug-print         Print the generated frames directly to the terminal,

                        instead of saving them

  -W WIDTH, --width WIDTH

                        Width of the grid

  -H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT

                        Height of the grid

  -M MAX_GEN, --max-gen MAX_GEN

                        Number of generations to simulate

  --ppc PIXELS          Set the width and the height of each cell to 

  -P POSITION, --pos POSITION

                        One of 'C', 'T', 'B', 'L', 'R', 'TL', 'TR', 'BL', and

                        'BR'

  -p, --profile         Measure the performance

```

To use without installing,

```sh

python -m golpy # ...

```

## Input Format

```txt

........................O

......................O.O

............OO......OO............OO

...........O...O....OO............OO

OO........O.....O...OO

OO........O...O.OO....O.O

..........O.....O.......O

...........O...O

............OO

```

Use `.` for a dead cell, `O` (`chr(79)`) for a live cell.
