Game Of Life

The Game of Life (an example of a cellular automaton) is played on an infinite two-dimensional rectangular grid of cells. Each cell can be either alive or dead. The status of each cell changes each turn of the game (also called a generation) depending on the statuses of that cell's 8 neighbors. Neighbors of a cell are cells that touch that cell, either horizontal, vertical, or diagonal from that cell.

Reminder of basic game of life rules

1. Any living cell with strictly fewer than two living neighbors dies (referred to as underpopulation or exposure).

2. Any living cell with strictly more than three living neighbors dies (referred to as overpopulation or overcrowding).

3. Any dead cell with exactly three living neighbors will come to life. (Referred to as spreading or growth) With the implied additional rules:

4. Any living cell with two or three living neighbors continues to live, unchanged.

5. Any dead cell who doesn’t have exactly 3 living neighbors stays dead, unchanged.

Features

• Classic Game of Life Rules: Implements the traditional rules of Conway's Game of Life.
• Customizable Rulesets: Load and apply custom rulesets from JSON files.
• Agent Behavior: Simulate agents with specific behaviors based on their surroundings.
• Interactive Grid: Click on cells to change their states with two modes: cell state change and agent placement.
• Looping Borders: Option to enable or disable looping borders for the grid. (Opposit sides are connected)
• Adjustable Simulation Speed: Change the speed of the simulation using a slider.
• Random Cell Generation: Generate a random initial state for the grid, the density slider allows to adjust the probability for a cell to become alive.
• Save and Load States: Save/Load current state of the simulation.
• Pause and Resume.
• Visual Representation: Display the grid with different colors representing different cell states.

Run Locally

Clone the project

  git clone https://gitarero.ecam.fr/guillaume.bonabau/OOP_F1_Project.git

Go to the project directory

  cd OOP_F1_Project

  TODO How to install the json-simple-1.1.1.jar 

Start the program

  TODO ???? => javac .\src\Main.java

Basic How to

• Load Rules By default, Coneways rules are loaded. You can load other set of rules by clicking the "Load Rule" button.

• Create Field Create the fild either by generating a random field, or by clicking yourself on cells (Don't forget to Toggle click).

• Toggle Border There is 2 different iterations methodes.

1. Closed The sides of the gride will count as dead.

2. Loop The gride technicaly has no sides. The left handside is connected to the right one, the top to the bottom. All 4 corners cells are nearby cells of each others.
