Conway's Game of Life

Conway's Game of Life implemented in Rust with piston (by default, graphics done by OpenGL).

Controls

To pan the field of view:

• Click and drag anywhere in the window, or
• Scroll up, down, left, or right (with e.g. a scroll wheel)

To zoom:

• Ctrl + to zoom in
• Ctrl - to zoom out
• Alternatively, hold Ctrl while scrolling up and down

Other controls:

• Click directly on a cell to toggle alive/dead
• Spacebar to pause/resume generation ticks
• [ and ] to slow down and speed up (respectively) generation ticks

Building

A recent Rust toolchain is required for building. Piston will use the pure-Rust glutin OpenGL context creation library by default (alleviating the need for linking against external libraries).

To build (a debug version):

cargo build

To build then run directly:

cargo run
