Python Simulation Tutorial - Conway's Game of Life

[@DJ-ct6so]

Good work Tim, as always. Many thanks for this tutorial, I haven't used pygame before, hence I learned a significant amount. Back in the 1970s I encountered John Conway's game of 'Life' in an edition of Scientific American, and later wrote a similar simulator using QBASIC. I further developed it into a 2-4 player game where each player could add new live cells, in an attempt to grow additional cells of their chosen color, keep their existing cells alive, and/or overpopulate and thus destroy their opponent's cells. After each player had a turn, Conway's rules were applied. There were some adjacency rules regarding where a player was permitted to add new cells, which also meant that if a player had no more live cells, they were eliminated. Last remaining player wins. Compared to QBASIC, Python's native constructs and concepts (lists, sets, etc) keep the required coding, for a project of this type, more simple, tidy, and readable.

Worked like a charm. Enough room to create a Gosper Glider Gun and watch it spawn walkers. My first project on Raspberry PI - thank you!!!

[@bp-ob8ic]

Conway's Game of Life has always fascinated me. Gonna work through this in the morning. Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to follow the logic, and it mostly matched the pseudo code I had blocked out. Now I just have to learn more pygame.

I was waiting for you to make Conway's game of life and finally, here it is. Great video! :D

[@esrx7a]

What a concept! I had been breaking my head to understand the concept & this happens finally. Thank you Tim

[@void_presence]

fantastic, just the thing i was looking for: python implementation of Conway's Life with clickable nodes

[@NicolasFleury-ww5ut]

It is working perfectly well! Thank you Tim. However, please note that on line 21 of the code, you should invert GRID_WIDTH and GRID_HEIGHT for correct random position generation, especially for different screen width and height.

best coder vid's on youtube

[@bakerboyplayz5254]

thank you so much tim, this will help me a lot to develop my school project :)

[@vizionthing]

Outstanding Tim, loved this one.

[@TechWithTim]

Thank you!

[@westudy9180]

i really like these kind of video please make more of these video i am looking forward for that thank you once again....👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

[@eNit0x]

thank you for the tutorial works perfectly fine !

[@BsktImp]

Didn't realise set() data structure and methods were so useful.

[@17crescent]

Great video. Slight correction as 39+1 can never be > 40 in your example grid. Plus added a wrap-around: def get_neighbors(pos): x, y = pos neighbors = [] for dx in [-1, 0, 1]: if x + dx < 0: x += GRID_WIDTH elif x + dx == GRID_WIDTH: x -= GRID_WIDTH for dy in [-1, 0, 1]: if y + dy < 0: y += GRID_HEIGHT elif y + dy == GRID_HEIGHT: y -= GRID_HEIGHT if dx == 0 and dy == 0: continue neighbors.append((x + dx, y + dy)) return neighbors

[@programm_mister9692]

Thanks bro, otherwise I ran into a bunch of bugs when developing the game "life" on my game engine.

[@plinketharry7469]

this was great, cheers

[@ashirwadsingh6926]

amazing video keep up the good work

[@jerryedept2022]

Does anyone please have a version of this code with ezgraphics?

[@elenasavchenkova2601]

Hi. What PyCharm theme are you using here?

[@paulthomas1052]

Very interesting - great code as usual. Thanks !

[@TechWithTim]

Glad you liked it!

[@gamerfisch5117]

great video 👍

[@Car2hell975]

How Can i make simulation like Project jdm and math Floyd can you make a video or tell me where to start

[@richardsifeanyi6766]

Thanks Tim

[@TechWithTim]

No problem :)

[@miichanshi]

can you make a tutorial on reflex or pynecone

[@Digital_Anime_Creator0709]

heloo sir can u create a digitmatch that can predict the last number randomly for example entry spot 12345 the last is 5 then the last exit result lexit spot is 5 also can u make it this sir?

[@pathapativarshitha1780]

Hii, really useful video... like always :)

[@MrMysterious31]

Hi tim, I want to simulate how an object of certain pounds would react on the different planets with different gravity.. kindly make a video if possible.. regards:)

[@fruitStall]

Hey. I followed the tutorial and everything works until I try to run the simulation. I get the error "not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)" at line 58 (x, y = pos in the get_neighbors function) Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

[@foqsi_]

I had to recreate this in Java for school. Sucked. lol

[@AndroidGamer-lz2uh]

same lol what school u go to?

[@meim6028]

Hey Tim, can help help the community to create a product web app

[@Pramix]

Insaine!! how do you learn programming like this?? 🤯

[@Suto_Ko]

he practice, practice, practice. Programming is a skill that improves with hands-on experience. Start with the basics, like learning a programming language, understanding concepts, and solving small coding problems. Build projects, join coding communities, and never stop learning. It takes time and effort, but it's worth it.

[@jeffreyepiscopo]

Why pygame instead of pygame-ce?

[@Suto_Ko]

pygame-ce is a community-driven fork of pygame that aims to continue development and address some of the issues in the original pygame. While pygame-ce offers some improvements, the choice between pygame and pygame-ce ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. Both libraries can be used to create games and multimedia applications in Python.

[@mehtabsinghgiran6531]

first comment i think 😆😅

[@cosmicman00]

do boid simulation

[@nakulgaming2537]

Hello

[@TechWithTim]

Hey!

[@nakulgaming2537]

I was tried your all projects of python nd it really helped me very much❤️

[@no99mnecfw]

Please stop saying actually so much.

[@zealotdraws3017]

I think ur the only one bothered
