Conway's Game of Life - Released

,

I released a version of Conway's Game of Life while continuing to learn Lua and the SDK.

The zero-player cellular automation devised by mathematician John Conway in 1970 allows you to observe the evolution of cells that multiply according to how many neighbours they have.

This was a nice quick project that I thought I'd share. My initial plan was to make the grid much bigger (Conway asks for an infinite scale...) but creating a control scheme that lets you pan and zoom an infinite grid was way out of scope! So I ended up settling for a fixed grid that loops :slight_smile:
