Game of Life with Constraint Programming

This software is a mall implementation of the Game of Life using Gecode. The aim of this software is to express the rules of the Game of Life using constraint programming.

Game of Life Rules

Considering a N * N board, each cell's value is in {0, 1}, 1 for enabled, 0 for disabled :

  • If a cell is disabled and has 2 or less neighbours, the cell stays disabled in the next iteration
  • If a cell is disabled and has exactly 3 neighbours, the cell will be enabled in the next iteration
  • If a cell is enabled and has 2 or 3 neighbours, the cell will stay enabled in the next iteration
  • If a cell is enabled and has more than 3 neighbours, the cell will be disabled in the next iteration
  • If a cell is enabled and has less then 2 neighbours, the cell will be disabled in the next iteration

Requirement

  • GCC/G++ 7
  • Gecode development library

Build

To build the Game of Life, open a terminal and :

./build.sh

Usage

bin/gol-gecode <square-root length> <rounds>

The input (example.txt) :

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
