Conway's Game of Life

---

Implementation of Conway's Game of Life built with Scala and Akka actors.

Prerequisites

• This assumes that you have npm installed.
• Must have scala installed.

Let's get started

• Clone the application and open application as a sbt project.

• This application is not using any of the scala play views and all the views are served by the Vue code base which is inside the ui folder.

• Used any of the sbt commands listed in the below according to the requirement which are working fine with this application.(To see more details of sbt)

    sbt clean           # Clear existing build files
    
    sbt stage           # Build your application from your project’s source directory
    
    sbt run             # Run both backend and frontend builds in watch mode
    
    sbt dist            # Build both backend and frontend sources into a single distribution
    
    sbt test            # Run both backend and frontend unit tests
