This month I’ve been focused heavily on class work, but it’s been extremely fun working on it! We’ve been making Conway’s Game of Life using wxWidgets in C++, and so far it feels like it’s coming along nicely!

It took a while for the game to take shape, but as soon as it did, we started adding extra features, such as Finite versus Toroidal space. Toroidal allows the cells to loop around the edges, and can sometimes be referred to as “Donut Mode” instead! Since making this gif, I’ve added many more options including two randomize options, making the settings save and load, and more!
