Conway's Game of Life

Conway's Game of Life is a famous zero-player game.

My implementation includes all of the basic rules. The crux of this project is implementing functionalities such as Save/Load, Copy/Paste, etc. This project is build in Java Swing. It uses a series of "wrappers", with a Runnable wrapping a Board that wraps a Model. This project was worked on over my winter break in freshman year of college.

Planned Functionalities

• Save to File w/ Multiple Save Files
• Delete saves
• Save between Open/Close of program
• Load to clipboard from file
• Load to clipboard from text entry in "." / "0" formatting
• Implement transform features such as rotate and reverse
• Adding ability to change rules Done

Planned Changes

• Rework Manual/Copy/Paste modes to one mode that interprets mouse behavior
• Implement keybinds for Start/Stop
• Automatic stability detection
