Grid World

A dart implementation of Conway's game of life.

GridWorld is an NxM array of cells that can be alive or dead. It accepts an Evolver to evolve it forward one step in time.

The ConwayEvolver is an Evolver embodying Conway's game of life rules.

The ConwayEvolver also defines static strings representing famous Conway GOL patterns as multi-line strings, e.g. the Gosper glider gun:

  static final gosperGliderGun = GridWorld.fromString('''
......................................
.........................#............
.......................#.#............
.............##......##............##.
............#...#....##............##.
.##........#.....#...##...............
.##........#...#.##....#.#............
...........#.....#.......#............
............#...#.....................
.............##.......................
......................................
''');

Worlds can be built by sending these patterns into GridWorld composition methods.

Printers are provided that convert a GridWorld to a printable string, including strings that include ANSI escape sequences to animate the world on terminals.
