Customizable ticker in Conway's Game Of Life based on the "Golly Ticker".
As you can see above, the Golly Ticker pattern prints out "Golly" when it is run in the Game of Life. The idea is to write a generator that outputs a ticker that prints any user defined messages or images.
This is a work in progress. However, you can still play around with a few functional pieces of the program I envisioned:
- ./render_text takes a string and render the text into a bitmap.
- ./print_rle takes a Game of Life pattern file in RLE format, parse it and print out the bitmap.
- ./pattern_to_rle takes a RLE file, parse it, and save the bitmap as another RLE file.
