Visualizing Conway's Game of Life using Matplot and Numpy

This project simulates Conway's Game of Life using Python. It includes a variety of predefined patterns, visualizes their evolution, and allows interaction with the simulation through matplotlib.

Project Structure

• patterns.toml: Contains predefined patterns for Conway's Game of Life.
• grid.py: Defines the LifeGrid class, which handles the evolution and visualization of patterns.
• patterns.py: Provides functionality to load patterns from the patterns.toml file.
• main.py: Contains the main code to run the simulation and visualize the patterns.

Patterns

The following patterns are included:

• Blinker: A simple oscillator with a period of 2.
• Toad: An oscillator with a period of 2.
• Beacon: A still life pattern that forms a 2x2 block with a smaller block in the corner.
• Pulsar: A large oscillator with a period of 3.
• Penta Decathlon: An oscillator with a period of 10.
• Glider: A small pattern that moves diagonally.
• Glider Gun: A complex pattern that generates gliders.
• Bunnies: A random pattern for experimentation.

Installation

Ensure you have Python 3.11+ installed. Install the required libraries using pip:

pip install numpy matplotlib
