Toon App: Conway's Game of Life

Post by JackV »

My implementation of Conway's Game of Life on Toon can be found on https://github.com/JackV2020/life

For those who do not know what it is .... Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life
The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

You can create your own shapes and select from some predefined shapes.
At this moment there is a scrolling pull down menu which has 14 presets including so called oscillators, spaceships, guns which produce gliders and of course an option which puts TOON on the screen. I plan to make more presets.

(For developers : I created ScrollMenu.qml which is a very configurable object which you are free to use in your projects. Shows a button and when you click it the menu drops down over all what is on screen. Also over siblings you defined later in your qml. Hides when you made a selection or auto-hides after a configurable time in seconds. Takes an input array with your options, returns the index and value of the selected item and sends a signal on which you can act and has many settings for shaping and coloring.)

There are some 'Themes' which define the shapes and colors of the cells and a button to start and pause Life. When Life is running and Toon goes into dimState it stays on the screen and the colors change to the theme settings for dimState.
