# 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. |
