life

A Game of Life implementation in Zig and WebAssembly.

installation

Make sure you have both Zig and Deno installed and on your $PATH.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Jabolol/life.git .

2. Build the WebAssembly file and patterns.json file using zig.

zig build

3. Navigate to the www/ directory and start the website.

cd www && deno task start

custom patterns

Custom patterns consist of files in the assets/ directory. The format of these files is as follows:

0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
0 1 0 0 1 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0

Where 0 is a dead cell and 1 is a live cell. There is a space between each cell and a newline between each row.

Every time you change a file in the assets/ directory, you need to rebuild the patterns.json file using zig. The pattern is automatically centered on the canvas.

zig build
