Implementation of the Conway's Game of Life in Python.

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run game-of-life.py FILE, where FILE is the input game.
3. The script periodically prints the game and updates it.

A game is a text file containing a rectangular lattice, where x denotes a live cell and (space) denotes a dead cell.

Example:

    xxx   xxx

  x    x x    x
  x    x x    x
  x    x x    x
    xxx   xxx

    xxx   xxx
  x    x x    x
  x    x x    x
  x    x x    x

    xxx   xxx

For more examples, see the games directory.

The script's code is covered by unit tests. To execute them, simply run make test. It will run the tests by using nosetests, so make sure you have it installed.

If you want to generate code coverage, run make test-coverage and open coverage/index.html in your favorite web browser. Once again, you need to have nosetests installed.
