Update attachment

added devlogs this commit but the previous commit's devlog i shall make tomorrow as it is pretty major.

Update attachment

added a box around the game field so its clear where the boundaries of the field are. also improved error handling.

Update attachment

optimized the neighbor checking loop. the program can now run bigger fields faster.

mostly refactoring and small optimizations.
enjoy this smiley getting blown apart:

better error handling

Update attachment

made it so the program can accept arguments for either a random board or generating a board from an image

Update attachment

the terminal CGOL simulator now supports importing the game board from an image file.
