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.
IMPORTANT: Requires Java 8

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

Still Patterns

Oscillating 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

To Run

QuickStart

Download Repository
Open Repository folder
Run the first-start.bat file (This step only necessary once. Afterwards
just run theGameOfLife.jar file that is created in the directory)

Enter the following commands:

cd gameoflife
javac GameOfLife.java
javac Main.java
jar cmvf manifest.mf GameOfLife.jar ./*.java ./*.class
java -jar GameOfLife.jar
Step 4 : Have fun using my Conway's Game of Life Program!!!
