Proposal
Why
The application now supports input, pattern placement, and HiDPI rendering, but has no Game of Life dynamics. This change adds the actual automaton: Conway's rules, pause/resume, single stepping, speed control, and mouse editing of cells, so the tool becomes usable for exploring patterns.
What Changes
- Add Conway's Game of Life simulation that updates the cell grid on a timer.
- Start paused by default; allow pause/resume, single-step, and speed changes.
- Allow mouse editing of cells (left click sets alive, right click sets dead) only while paused, including drag painting.
- Add default key bindings for pause (
p), step (n), and speed (+/-). - Render simulation state and reflect pause/editing in the UI (via stdout status).
Capabilities
New Capabilities
gol-simulation: Conway rules, tick timing, pause/resume, stepping, speed control, and paused-only editing.
Modified Capabilities
None.
Impact
- Affected code:
wlgol.c,grid.c/h(read during ticks), possibly newsimulation.c/h. - Reuses existing input/config infrastructure; no new dependencies.
- Config defaults updated with simulation keys.
