This is part of a series of fun little programs I write to learn rust:

• Alder: Conway's Game of Life
• Balsa: Image to Emoji
• Cedar: Auto snake game

Alder

Conway's Game of Life has been implemented a million times, so what's one more?

Running

To run, use cargo run . in the repo's root folder.

Configuration

The game can be configured via three contants in src/main.rs:

• SIZE determines the size of the (square) playing field in characters. Choose a number that is at most equal to the minimum of your terminal's width and height.
• CHANCE determines how likely a node is to be alive in the inital configuration.
• SLEEP_INTERVAL determines how fast the game runs. The lower the number, the more often the field is updated.
