This is a 3 dimensional representation of Conway's Game of Life The same rules as the original game apply, except the board is 3 dimensional
This project was written sometime from September of 2012 to the December of 2013 It was also ported to XNA and C# and handed up as a programming assignment for Bryan Duggan's Programming class, taught to DT211 second years
The Esc key quits the game The game board can be rotated by clicking and dragging The Play/Pause button to the left of the screen dictates if the game is in progress or not The 'M' button at the top right of the screen provides more usage options
This project was originally written in C++ and used the Allegro library for graphics, It's currently being written in C and still uses the Allegro graphics library Allegro 4.4.2 The project was originally written with Visual Studio 2011, it's currently being developed with GCC on Linux Mint 17
General Details
I brought this project to GitHub, It's not written to my
current standard and exists as I wrote it in 2012
I rewrote some sections to conform to C standard rather
than C++
I cut the lines down to be no more than 72 characters
in length
I wrote the makefile
I wrote this README.md file
Usage
The Esc key quits the game
The game board can be rotated by clicking and dragging
The Play/Pause button to the left of the screen dictates if
the game is in progress or not
The 'M' button at the top right of the screen provides more
usage options
Changes to Source
Copied old source files to ./oldSourceFiles/
Created allegroLife.c based completely on the old version:
./oldSourceFiles/allegroLifeSizable20130423.cpp
I rewrote some sections to conform to C standard rather
than C++
I cut the lines down to be no more than 72 characters
in length
I wrote the makefile
I wrote this README.md file
Created the 'makefile', it redirects errors and warnings to
the 'err' file
Created this README.md file
To Do
Rewrite to personal current standard of C files
Add comments everywhere
Make more efficient
Additional
The current version of this project is almost exactly as it
was when I wrote it in 2012, as such, you will almost
definitely be able to make it throw an error, it's
basically unstable, and needs more work.
Right now I just want to put all of my projects on
GitHub, so making this project stable is not one of my
main concerns, though I will fix it in the future
I might mess with it a bit more now anyway
