Game of Life w/ SFML

C++ implementation of Conway's Game of Life, using SFML

Dependencies

The only external dependency this project has is SFML, which you can find here. I suggest installing the library in the default directory, to avoid any issues with its detection from CMake.

Getting it to work

To download and compile the project, run the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/iliastsa/game_of_life_SFML.git
$ cd game_of_life_SFML
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

The executable will be created in the build directory. To execute, simply run ./game_of_life <path_to_png_seed>.

You can provide your own Black/White png seed(suggested size 20-40) or play around with the ones provided inside the example folder.
