ncLife

March 30, 2016 ยท View on GitHub

This project is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life in C++ using ncurses.

This project is still in very early stages of development. Currently all that happens when you run the program is that a randomly generated field of live/dead cells appears and pressing any button increments the generation by one.

See the ToDo for more details on what is planned.

ToDo

  • Use #pragma once.
  • Add some constant starting state so I know the program does what I expect.
  • Should I use std::vector<bool> or a quadTree like here?
  • Actually map out the backend, so that way the Game of Life and the Display to a terminal can be considered separately.
  • ...
  • Find out the standard way of implementing command line parameters.
