life

A simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life in C++ using SFML and TGUI. Currently a work-in-progress.

Planned features:

• Neater UI/UX
• Support for importing patterns in various formats (plaintext, RLE, Life 1.06 etc.)

Building with Nix

# build
nix build github:nikoof/life
./result/bin/life

# ...or run it directly
nix run github:nikoof/life

Building manually

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and build manually. You need to install SFML and TGUI and make the libraries available to your compiler.

Note: You need a compiler with support for C++23. I've only built this with g++ (GCC) 12.3.0.

git clone https://github.com/nikoof/life
meson setup --buildtype release build
meson compile -C build
./build/life
