The Way of Life

Conway's game of life implemented both in JavaScript and in WebAssembly using a canvas element for rendering.

• Demo
• Demo up to 60FPS, 1 pixel per cell

Installation

The npm package only links to the ES6 code so it's only usable as a dependency for now.

npm install --save-dev way-of-life

Usage

import {Engine, acorn} from 'way-of-life'

// initialize the game with an empty 40x40 matrix
const engine = new Engine(40, 40)
engine.init()

// initialize some living cells around the center of the matrix
acorn(engine, 20, 20)

// compute the next state of game
engine.computeNextState()

See the demo code for a more advanced usage.
