This project uses basic C libraries and OpenGL to simulate Conway's game of life on a 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 * 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grid.

Basic controls:

• Cam movement:
• • Up, Down, Left, Right
• Game speed:
• • Numpad+: Speed up
• • Numpad-: Speed down
• • Space, escape: Stop
• • Enter: Advance game if stopped
• Visualization:
• • R, G, B - Change the Red, Green and Blue values
• • H - Toggle the Halo effect

When started by clicking on the executable, it starts up with the basic initialization file (res/init/cells.init). Other initialization file can be used, when starting up from command prompt, using the arguments. E.g.: On windows, the command would look like this: gol.exe res\init\kokgalaxy.init

There are 3 init files provided, the basic cells.init with a few oscillators and a glider, glidergun.init with the Gosper glider gun and kokgalaxy.init with Kok's galaxy.

New init files can be added easily, by following the pattern for each cell: {x}; {y}\\Comment
Put each individual cell in a different line!
Don't leave empty lines in the file!
