This project is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life using C and SDL2. It features a graphical interface with a grid where users can click on cells to toggle their state (alive or dead), move around the grid, and start or stop the simulation.

• Graphical interface with SDL2
• Click on cells to toggle between alive and dead states
• Move around the grid using arrow keys
• Start and stop the simulation with the spacebar
• Zoom in and out with the mouse scroll wheel
• Infinite grid
• Resizable window
• Cells with white borders for better visualization

• C compiler (GCC recommended)
• CMake (version 3.28 or higher)
• SDL2 library

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

brew install sdl2

sudo pacman -S sdl2
