Ultimate Life

Conway's Game of Life, but bigger, better, badder

Installation

Right now we're only installing from source. You will need conan to run this. If you have Python, simply run pip install conan to install it. Once you do, create a default profile using conan profile detect.

Run the gimmeit.sh script in a terminal. It should build and install everything you'd need (which would normally be just one script)

$ pip install conan
$ conan profile detect
$ ./gimmeit.sh
