gol-rust

my simple and silly implementation of Game of Life.

Purpose is just playing with rust.

Requirements

• Nix with flakes enabled (for development environment)
• X11 display server (Wayland has known issues with bracket-lib)

Build

• cargo build --release

Run

• usage: bedelli width height rule seeder
• rule -> like b3s23. this is standard Conway's rule.
• seeder -> 0: random, 1: a glider, 2: One alive at the center, 3: five alive cells in the middle.
• WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 ./target/release/bedelli 80 50 b3s23 1

Note: If running on Wayland, you must set WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 to force X11 mode.

TODO

• use clap for cli interface.
• add interaction. e.g. start with an empty board, add alive cells with mouse then start processing, pause, restart etc.
