About

Browser implementation of Conway's Game of Life using Rust and Webassembly (WASM).

Getting started

First make sure you have Rust, wasm-pack and NPM installed.

Cmpile the Rust source:

wasm-pack build

This will generate a pkg folder with the compiled Rust code that is used by the browser.

Install Javascript dependencies and run the webpack development server:

cd ./www
npm install
npm start

It should open a browser window with a running life instance.

🔋 Batteries Included

• wasm-bindgen for communicating between WebAssembly and JavaScript.
• console_error_panic_hook for logging panic messages to the developer console.
• wee_alloc, an allocator optimized for small code size.
