Requirements

  • Java (6 to) 8 (max, recommended)
  • NetBeans (highly recommended)

Java Applets have been dropped with Java 9. So you need an older versione to run this project. Java 8 is the preferred version. Until Java 6 should be ok.

Problems running the project are expected, applets are deprecated and not supported by modern browsers.**

This is a NetBeans Project. Using NetBeans isn't mandatory but recommended for the built-in applet runner. You can run the GrigliaApplet.java class with netbeans.

NetBeans Instructions

Alternatively, you can use IntellijJ IDEA with the Applet runner plugin (not tested).

Installation and run

Clone the repo:

git clone https://gitlab.com/stefanorossiti/GameOfLife2D.git

Run GameOfLifeApplet.java with your preferred IDE (NetBeans is recommended) using java 8.
