Conway's Game of Life in Unity

This project contains three scripts in GameOfLife/Assets/Scripts/:

1. GridController.cs

Spawns the grid of cells, and finds each cell's neighbors

2. Cell.cs

Controls each cell's activity depending on rules of game

3. GameController.cs

Updates cells on click, and restarts game when restart button clicked

Game of Life Instructions

The Game of Life is set in an infinite two-dimensional grid inhabited by “cells”. Every cell interacts with up to eight neighbours, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. From an initial seed grid the game "evolves" one iteration at a time. An iteration applies rules to the grid to determine its next state. These scenarios are:

Scenario 0: No interactions

Given a game of life When there are no live cells Then on the next step there are still no live cells

Scenario 1: Underpopulation

Given a game of life When a live cell has fewer than two neighbours Then this cell dies

Scenario 2: Overcrowding

Given a game of life When a live cell has more than three neighbours Then this cell dies

Scenario 3: Survival

Given a game of life When a live cell has two or three neighbours Then this cell stays alive

Scenario 4: Creation of Life

Given a game of life When an empty position has exactly three neighbouring cells Then a cell is created in this position
