Conway’s game of life on arduino
- 1. Conway’s game oflife on ArduinoA 48x32 led matrix controlled by an Arduino able to project output from arbitrary sources (e.g. game of life)
- 2. GoalTo make aled matrix on which Conway’s game of life can runAnd enable it to display other stuff, likeTicker tapeClockTemperatureMenu navigation?
- 3. Conway’s game oflifeWorld is a grid(x, y)Each cell is alive or deadEach iteration for each cell = grid(x, y):If cell is alive,It dies from loneliness if it has < 3 alive neighborsIt dies from food shortage if it has > 4 alive neighborsIt stays alive if it has 3 alive neighborsIf cell is dead,It reincarnates if it has exactly 3 alive neighbors
