Requirements

golgo should work with go versions 1.2 or greater.

Installation

To install golgo, use go get:

go get github.com/eazynow/golgo

Usage

To play the simulation, just run

$ $GOPATH/bin/golgo

Todo

This is still work in progress. Amongst other things:

• Refactor to a proper solution (split out the code into separate files etc)
• Add tests
• Add import starting position
• Make board size configurable (flags)
• Make color scheme configurable?

Credits

• googles example implementation of game of life is used as a basic engine
• termbox is used as the display engine
