Implementation of the Game of Life for Nintendo Switch (using libnx).

Summary

That’s the Game of Life, but for the Nintendo Switch.
It was made as a homebrew, using libnx.
It’s also compatible with Linux.

Origin

Well, after hacking my first Nintendo Switch, I wanted to see what was possible in the homebrew field on that thing.
So with my rusty C, I decided to do one of the most basic things you can do in terms of graphics, the Game of Life.

Features

  • Generate cells using the touchscreen
  • Color is dimming depending on its lifetime
  • Simulation can be caused
  • Linux compatibility using SDL2
