- Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
- Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
- Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by over-population.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
To start the game from a terminal prompt, run ruby start_game.rb from within the lib folder.
The game can start autonomously with a 10 x 10 grid with random live cells (default) or with a predetermined world (2D array of 1s and 0s). Additionally, an arbitrary size for the world can be provided by starting the game like so:
game = Game.new(width: 2, height: 3)
game.start
All the starting methods for the game are covered in the start_game.rb file,
they just need to be commented and uncommented out to see them in action.
Tests can be found in the spec folder, and they can be run from within the spec folder like so: rspec .
