A simple project to play Conway's Game of Life on a Raspberry Pi SenseHAT's 8x8 LCD matrix, deployed with resin.io
Follow the resin.io getting started guide at first, to deploy this project to your device.
- The code randomly initializes the board, except if the
SEEDenvironment variable is found, because then it uses that to initialize (see code). - The game is looped until the last two frames are the same (e.g. run out of cells, or have a static configuration), in which case the code restarts the simulation using the same seed if supplied, or random value
- Can press the SenseHAT joystick any time to do a restart (including new randomization if no seed is supplied)
- The initial setup fills the board with cells at 25% probability
This code gratefully reuses the Game of Life algorithm published in Pythonic Perambulations.
