Game-of-Life

Implementation of Game of Life in C# (VS2015) and XNA 4.0.

Configuration

app.config contains few useful settings for playing around with automata :

• WindowWidth - Application window width
• WindowHeight - Application window height
• Fullscreen - Flag to display window in fullscreen mode
• WallpaperMode - Flag to display as Wallpaper - Experimental "Works for me". (To close it, you need to kill process)
• PixelSize - Multiplication ratio for a pixel, useful for more detailed projection without messing with window settings
• Density - Describes how many % of cells should be alive in first generation
• TickTime - Time in ms between spawning next generation
• Survivors - Cells which will survive to next generation (S)
• Reproductors - Death cells which will become alive in next generation (B)

Applying Rules

Rules Format in app.config can not be straightforward as you can find them in the web so..

B45678/S2345 (fav one btw.)

will be...

<add key="Survivors" value="2345" />
<add key="Reproductors" value="45678" />

... and will looks like ...

Few rules can be found on wiki if you don't like them, you can try one from 2¹⁸ another rules :)

ENJOY!
