About:
This is a C++ implementation of Conway's Game of Life, featuring a GUI built with wxWidgets. The project simulates the evolution of a cellular automaton based on simple rules and allows users to interact with the game through an intuitive graphical interface.Contributions:
- Designed and implemented a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using wxWidgets to enable an interactive user experience for the simulation.
- Applied C++ programming principles such as object-oriented programming (OOP), encapsulation, and modularity in project design.
- Configured and compiled the project using wxWidgets prebuilt binaries to streamline the build process for future users.
- Developed the logic for Conway's Game of Life rules, simulating cell evolution based on the states of neighboring cells.
- Implemented a dynamic grid system with customizable initial configurations, allowing users to define starting patterns.
- Integrated functionality for step-by-step simulation and continuous evolution, providing real-time visualization of the automaton.
- Created the ability to save and load patterns, enabling users to preserve and revisit custom configurations.
- Optimized application performance to handle grid resizing and real-time updates efficiently.
