Game of life

It's a simple game implementation. Rules are here.

Requirements

Java 8 or above, optionally gradle (gradle wrapper provided)

How to run

In project directory:

1. (Preferred) Run ./gradlew build and then java -jar build/libs/game-of-life.jar. This works a little better than running directly from gradle due to interactive nature of the program
2. (Additional) Simply run ./gradlew run

How it works

The world 25 x 25 with dead/empty cells marked as - and live cells O. The area 5x5 in the center of the world is going to be randomly seeded. In order to proceed to next generation hit Enter. Hit q followed by Enter to exit. On each Enter new generation will be shown, no screen cleanup will be done so it's easy to trace before/after state.
