Building

2. Open a msys2 shell. Install the development packages

pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

1. Install the go compiler using msys2 or chocolatey, it doesn't matter. Make sure it's in your path and make sure gcc from msys2 is in your path too.

go run cmd/amazing/main.go

Keyboard

• F1 Randomize
• F2 Clear the screen
• SPACE pause
• ESC quit

Mouse

You can click around anywhere and add more live cells to the simulation. Right click will remove cells.

Motivation

This was really just a thing to do to test Ebiten and go. I wanted to see how well it could handle just dumbly drawing all of the pixels every frame. It does pretty well!
