# GameOfLife
|
|
The program I have created is a clone I made from the ground up of the popular
|
|
Conway's Game of Life game.
|
|
|
|
***Not optimized yet***
|
|
This is just a little side project to work on my optimization skills and mess
|
|
around with different patterns in Conway's Game of Life.
|
|
|
|
## A little bit about the game
|
|
If you have never heard of the "Game of Life", developed by John Conway in the
|
|
early 70's I suggest that you check out the wikepedia page listed here:
|
|
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life. It is a fun little game
|
|
that replicates cell automation. Below I will list some fun patterns to get you
|
|
started.
|
|
|
|
## Patterns
|
|

### Spaceship Patterns *(AKA - Patterns that move on their own)*
|
|
|
|
|
|
### *These are not all the possible patterns but a few ones that are used alot*
