Conway Life Demo v2

This is a reworked demonstration of WebAssembly with Free Pascal by Pierce Ng (@PierceNg), based on the original by Dmitry Boyarintsev (@skalogryz).

Changes

  • The user interface is implemented in Pascal and transpiled to Javascript by pas2js.

  • In the original version, the starting game board is hardcoded. In this version, the starting board is generated randomly.

Key Files

  • lifedriver.lpr - user interface driver
  • lyff.pas - game machine
  • webserver.lpr - convenience web server

Running

This repo contains the necessary HTML, CSS, Javascript and WebAssembly files to run.

To run, compile webserver.lpr and execute it in this directory; webserver will serve the content in htdocs. You could also use another web server, say, a Python one-liner.

Building

Three compilers are required:

  • Free Pascal native compiler for your platform, to compile webserver.lpr.
  • pas2js, to compile lifedriver.lpr.
  • Free Pascal WebAssembly cross compiler for your platform, to compile lyff.pas.

Detailed instructions and convenience scripts, or maybe a build system, to come.
