:video_game: Assembly implementation of Conway's Game of Life, using NASM assembler for Linux x86-64.
ASM-GameOfLife
An assembly implementation of Conway's Game of Life, using the NASM assembler and targeting Linux x86-64.
Screenshot from a Fedora workstation terminal. Have a close look and you'll be able to spot some gliders!
Getting started
:heavy_check_mark: Requirements
To compile and run this project, you will need:
- the NASM assembler
- the GNU linker
- a Linux x64 operating system
The program can easily be modified to accommodate other operating system or assembler requirements.
:page_facing_up: Implementation notes
The initial cell pattern is generated using ideas from Middle Square Weyl Sequence RNG, published by Bernard Widynski on 4th April 2017.
The implementation relies on a finite grid, all cells outside the grid boundaries are considered as dead.
:cd: Running the code
Simply use the following commands in a terminal:
git clone https://github.com/PyvesB/ASM-GameOfLife.git
cd ASM-GameOfLife
make
./life
