Conway's Game of Life in Rust and WebAssembly

This project is based on the tutorial from the Rust🦀 and WebAssembly🕸 book, realizing Conway's Game of Life.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

This project requires the standard Rust toolchain (rustup, rustc, and cargo). If you do not have it or have an older version than Rust 1.30, follow this link to install it now.

Furthermore, you will also need wasm-pack and npm.

Building the project

Execute the following command to build the crate.

$ wasm-pack build

Next, run the following commands to install the Node.js dependencies and run the server.

$ cd ./www
$ npm install
$ npm run start

Assuming the client and server are on the same machine, navigate to http://localhost:8080/ on your Web browser and you should be able to see the evolution of life!
