Cellular Automata in Raylib (C)

I implemented Conway's Game of Life and Brain`s Brain using Raylib.

Requirements

• Raylib: A C library for simple 2D game development.

Feature

• Conway's Game of Life implementation
• Brian's Brain implementation
• Camera controls (pan and zoom)
• Grid randomization and clearing
• Ability to switch between rule sets

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SamarthPyati/Cellular_Automata_In_Raylib.git
   cd Cellular_Automata_In_RayLib

2. Install Raylib: Follow the installation instructions on the Raylib website.

3. Compile the Code:

   • You can compile the project using a C compiler. If you're using GCC on Windows, use the following command:

   gcc -o cellular_automata gol.c -lraylib -lgdi32 -lopengl32 -lm

   • On linux / mac operating systems:

   gcc $(pkg-config --libs --cflags raylib) -lm -o cellular_automata gol.c 

Usage

1. Run the Program:

   • Build the program.
   • Execute the compiled binary:

     ./cellular_automata

2. Controls:

   Key Combination	Action
   Arrow Keys	Move the camera
   Mouse Wheel	Zoom in and out
   Left Mouse Button	Toggle cells
   SPACE	Pause/Unpause the simulation
   R	Randomize the grid
   C	Clear the grid
   Z	Reset camera position and rotation
   Left Shift + Z	Reset camera position, rotation, and zoom
   B	Switch the Rules
   Esc	Quit the program

Upcoming Features

• Save Game state in files
• Colorful gradients to hallucinate
• More user friendly UI
