It's a simple simulation of Conway's Game of Life
There are two ways of running this application, either using an simple EXE for Windows that has to be launched within its folder (because they contain all the python modules, application data etc...) and that requires no installer. Or by running the source code of the application with Python and all the modules. In which case you'll need :
-
Numpy module version 1.19.0, to deal with matrixes and data
pip install numpy- Matplotlib module version 3.2.2 (upper versions don't work if you want the EXE), to do annimated 3D plotting
pip install matplotlib==3.2.2Like i said there no installer, just a folder wich contains all the necessary files. If you want the Windows EXE version than :
- download the Github repository as a ZIP
- UnZIP it and open it
- UnZIP the "Game of life executable"
- Open the folder "Game of life executable" and find the executable named "Game of life.exe"
If you want to run the source code than :
- download the Github repository as a ZIP
- UnZIP it and open it
- find the file "Game of Life.py"
- Run it with your editor (Python's IDLE, Vscode, etc...)
- Size to chose the lengh of a 2 by 1 matrix
- Pause, if you want to pause
- Reload if you want to generate a random matrix
- Ones % is the % of "live" vs "dead" cells in the random generated matrix
