Conways Game of Life

See WIKI for detailes abot Conway's Life: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Gosper_glider_gun 3 Initial State Animations implemented:
1 - Randomly turned cells
python conwayGameOfLife.py
2 - Glider
python conwayGameOfLife.py --grid-size 32 --interval 500 --glider
3 - Gosper
python conwayGameOfLife.py --interval 500 --gosper

Simple Life Realization

Details and Rules

Terms: Field, Cell, Agent

Agent - acting model. Has Physical and Mental health.
Can make 3 actions: Move, Split, Eat

• Each Move decrements Mental Health (by 1). Mental Health Is not renewable. Moves can be made on 4 directions: up, down, left, right.
• Each Eat action increase Physical Health . (Eat till MAX_PHYSICAL_HEALTH reached). Per Game tick it 1 food form Cell.
• Agent make Split when Physical Health > 0.8 * MAX_PHYSICAL_HEALTH (A MUST). It decrements Physical Health with value 0.8 * MAX_PHYSICAL_HEALTH . 0.8 is a split coefficient - can be controlled in ./helpers/consts.py

Cell - each cell of field. Has food generated randomly

• Stores food value
• Bordered with MAX FOOD value - can be controlled in ./helpers/consts.py
• Color of Cell. If has food - 255 (yellow), of don't have - 0 (purple)

Field - 2dim Cells array

• Should be renewable : per tick 2 foody cells creates randomly (this value can be changed)
