Game of Life

Classic Conway's Game of Life

Plans

• infinite field:
  • field is split into 32x32 (or 64x64) blocks, where each line in a block is an integer number, where each bit is a cell
  • the whole field is a dict where keys are block coordinates and values are blocks
    See models.py for inner implementation of the game field.
• game loop
• implement gui using pyxel
  • display field on the screen
    • draw visible part of the field
    • pan field view with the middle mouse button
    • change scale with the mouse wheel
  • controls (start/stop, step, clear buttons)
  • field editor
• optimizations:
  • use parallelization (blocks can be processed independently, so it's possible to process subsets of blocks in different threads/processes)
  • rewrite parts in cython?
