Crate smeagol

A library to efficiently simulate Conway's Game of Life using the HashLife algorithm.

Examples

// create a gosper glider gun
let mut life = smeagol::Life::from_rle_pattern(
    b"
24bo11b$22bobo11b$12b2o6b2o12b2o$11bo3bo4b2o12b2o$2o8bo5bo3b2o14b$2o8b
o3bob2o4bobo11b$10bo5bo7bo11b$11bo3bo20b$12b2o!",
)?;

// step 1024 generations into the future
life.set_step_log_2(10);
life.step();

// save the result
life.save_png(
    std::env::temp_dir().join("gosper_glider_gun.png"),
    life.bounding_box().unwrap().pad(10),
    0,
)?;
