didnt attach a compiled binary to the github release the first ship so it got rejected. i have done it now.
alright time to ship. v1.1 is released. read the README for all the instructions, i've made using the script as easy as possible. or check out the demos.
thanks for viewing.
getting ready to ship. readme is done*. final touches remain.
starting work on the README
added devlogs this commit but the previous commit's devlog i shall make tomorrow as it is pretty major.
added a box around the game field so its clear where the boundaries of the field are. also improved error handling.
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
made it so the program can accept arguments for either a random board or generating a board from an image
the terminal CGOL simulator now supports importing the game board from an image file.
the simulation simulates! well that took longer to figure out than id like to admit lol.
scratching heads
so i decided to try making Conway's Game of Life in the terminal as a sort of a warmup. still figuring some stuff out
Conway's Game of Life simulation entirely in the terminal. Supports importing game fields from an image file.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
