Conway's Game of Life

An implementation of Conway's Game of Life in Haskell using comonads and functional reactive programming.

This package consists of two parts:

• A library that can be used to simulate Conway's Game of Life on an arbitrary space using arbitrary rules. It is based on a comonad transformer stack.

• An executable that uses Yampa and Gloss to graphically display a 100x100 simulation of Conway's Game of Life. The simulation can be controlled by the keys:

  Space – Play/Pause

  - – Slow down the tick rate

  + (hold shift) – Speed up the tick rate

This package is a work in progress and may not be fully functional.
