Level 3 Computer Science project at Durham University, by Robbie Jakob-Whitworth.
This project is about investigating different techniques for visualising and simulating Conway's Game of Life.
For further details about objectives, deliverables, and the research question, see the Project Plan.

Relevant documents are stored in both formats in this repository:
- An editable source
- A final, published PDF
Editable documents are stored in Documents/Source.
Final, published files are stored in Documents/Final.
Relevant documents are as follows:
| File | Editable File | Published File |
|---|---|---|
| Project Plan | Project Plan.md | Project Plan.pdf |
| Literature Survey | Literature Survey (Google Docs) | Literature Survey.pdf |
| Final Report | Final Report (Google Docs) | Project Report.pdf |
The following slightly convoluted steps produce a clean PDF from a GitHub-flavoured markdown file.
- Open the markdown file in Atom, a free text editor.
- Once in Atom, open a preview of the markdown file by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+M.This is the same key combination on both Windows and macOS.
- With the focus on the preview window, save the preview as an HTML file.
⌘+Shift+S - Open the saved HTML file in Google Chrome, and use its
Save as PDFfeature.Set the scale to
70%for optimum, consistent visual results.
For each meeting with the supervisor, copy the file Documents/Meeting Notes/TEMPLATE.md and save it as a new file, with the date of the meeting in ISO8601 format (e.g. 2019-12-25).
Meeting notes can be found in the Documents/Meeting Notes directory.
Check the issues tab on GitHub to find preview URLs for each relevant branch.
If creating a new branch, e.g. feature/zeroth-implementation, add the following to the netlify.toml file on
the master branch of this repo.
[context."feature/zeroth-implementation"] # Contains the branch name
base = "src/implementation-0/" # The directory for that implementaiton
publish = "public/" # The directory to publish, relative to the base directory
command = "npm i && npm run build" # Build command to run, in the base directory
Netlify will then automatically pick up the new branch upon push and will deploy it.
You should manually add a new issue to GitHub with the preview-url label and a link to the preview URL for that branch.
