Conway's Game of Life 🌱

Welcome to the implementation of Conway's Game of Life! This repository contains a web-based version of the famous cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway.

About the Project 📚

Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player game that evolves based on its initial state, requiring no further input. Players create an initial configuration and observe how it evolves according to a set of simple rules.

Live Demo: game-of-life-puce-seven.vercel.app

Features ✨

• Interactive grid where you can draw your initial configuration
• Start, stop, and reset functionality
• Adjustable speed of evolution
• Responsive design for various screen sizes

Technologies Used 🛠️

• TypeScript: A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript
• ReactJS: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
• HTML: Standard markup language for creating web pages
• SCSS: CSS pre-processor to enhance the styling capabilities
