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
