# Game of Life - Java version
|
||||
|
||||
Original source downloaded [from Vintage Basic](http://www.vintage-basic.net/games.html)
|
||||
|
||||
Conversion to [Oracle Java](https://openjdk.java.net/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* Requires Java 17 (or later)
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
The Java version of Game of Life tries to mimics the behaviour of the BASIC version.
|
||||
However, the Java code does not have much in common with the original.
|
||||
|
||||
**Differences in behaviour:**
|
||||
* Input supports the ```.``` character, but it's optional.
|
||||
* Evaluation of ```DONE``` input string is case insensitive.
|
||||
* Run with the ```-s``` command line argument to halt the program after each generation, and continue when ```ENTER``` is pressed.
