Game Of Life

A small simulator of the Conway's Game coded in Java.

Technologies 🔥

• Java SDK 21.
• JavaFX 21.0.3 - as GUI.
• Maven 3.9.6 - as a template.

Run it! 🚀

First, this app uses this Maven plugin to manage all related to JavaFX:

• NOTE: I recommend use IntelliJ IDE in case you have problems to download all the dependencies with Eclipse IDE.
• Install Maven dependencies.
• Use mvn clean javafx:run to run in localhost.
• Use mvn clean javafx:jlink to generate an executable on the /target folder (read the docs of the plugin if you aren't sure).

How to play?

• Use left-click to place a green cell (alive), you can use patterns form Wikipedia.
• Once you think it's ready just press down the "Start Game" button to generate the patterns.

Demo 😎

• Simple demonstration in YouTube
