Java implementation of Conway's Game of Life (https://web.stanford.edu/class/sts145/Library/life.pdf).
It takes as input a pattern represented as a .lif file, which describes the initial configuration - a grid with cells that are either alive or dead.
The game will then run by itself, changing each cell's state according to these rules:
1. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours survives.
2. Any dead cell with three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
3. All other live cells die in the next generation. Similarly, all other dead cells stay dead.
Create your model or use an existing one (http://www.radicaleye.com/lifepage/patterns/contents.html), and then add it to the resources folder, then update the file path in LifReader.java.
How to run:
- Compile: javac com/game/Grid.java
- Build jar file: jar cmvf META-INF/MANIFEST.MF game.jar com/game/Grid.class
- Run jar
