my implementation of Conway's Game of Life in pygame

Installation

• Install Python 3.x, preferably Python 3.8.2
• Install needed modules by running the command below in the terminal

pip install -r requirements.txt

sidenote: if Python 2.x is installed on your machine it may be required to use one of the two following commands:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -mpip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

• type in terminal either

python run.py

or

python3 run.py

Instructions

• left mouse button - draw live cells / select a bitmap to load in
• right mouse button - draw dead cells
• '-'/'+' - slower/faster animation
• space - start/stop simulation
• right arrow button - advance the simulation by one step
• escape - clear the map

sidenote: you can add your own bitmaps for repeated use to the 'patterns' folder
