# Game Of life 3D
|
|
|
|
This is a 3D version of Conway's Game of Life.
|
|
|
|
Always wonder how Conway's game of life would develops in a 3D environnment? now you can!
|
|
|
|
- 3D interface (rotate, zoom, and explode)
|
|
|
|
- Settings GUI to change GOL3D rules run-time
|
|
|
|
- Play/Pause the simulation
|
|
|
|
- Color based on future cell state
|
|
|
|
It is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input.
|
|
|
|
One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.
|
|
|
|
In this version you can change the rules of the game and see the simulation in a 3D environment.

## Running the project
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Java 7](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase7-archive-downloads.html)
|
|
|
|
### Executable
|
|
|
|
The project is already compiled and ready to run. You can download the executable for windows and linux here: [releases](https://gitlab.com/stefanorossiti/gameOfLife3D/-/releases)
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Start the project, you can move the camera with your mouse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can change game rules and view settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rules settings translation:
|
|
|
|
If alive:
|
|
|
|
- dies with less than `{specified}` neighbours
|
|
|
|
- dies with more than `{specified}` neighbours
|
|
|
|
If dead:
|
|
|
|
- dies with more than `{specified}` neighbours
|
|
|
|
- dies with less than `{specified}` neighbours
|
|
|
|
## Development Requirements
|
|
|
|
This program run with [Processing 2.2.2](https://processing.org/). Processing is a **standalone** client.
|
|
|
|
You must use the right versions otherwise the progect wont work.
|
|
|
|
[Processing 2.2.1](https://processing.org/releases) (search for the correct archieved version)
|
|
|
|
### Libraries
|
|
|
|
These 2 libraries are needed to add more views to the GUIs.
|
|
|
|
- [G4P 3.5.4](https://sourceforge.net/projects/g4p/files/?source=navbar) (search the correct archieved version)
|
|
- [PFrame](https://github.com/shigeodayo/PFrame)
|
|
|
|
Extract both libraries in a separate folder into sketchbook libraries folder:
|
|
|
|
- Default libraries folder: `<user>\Documents\Processing\libraries`. If it doesn't exist, create it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now open processing and run the project.
|
|
|
|
### Alternative downloads
|
|
|
|
I did a backup of the dependencies in case the original links are down.
|
|
|
|
[Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ik1m29vXTRL1l6UIpJSqgC5Y5LQx7pbR?usp=sharing)
|
|
|
|
And the 2 libraries are in the repository itlself in the `Backups_libraries` folder.
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo, install both libraries and open with processing 2.2.1 the folder `GoL3D`, press play.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/stefanorossiti/gameOfLife3D.git
|
|
```
