CircuitPython Implementation of Conway's Game of Life
This repo contains code for CircuitPython implementation of the famous 'Conway's Game of Life'. It uses Adafruit's adafruit_st7735r library to draw the game on a 128x160 pixel color TFT LCD. This has been tested on Raspberry Pi Pico, here is a video of the game in action:
The code assumes you are using Raspberry Pi Pico and ST7735 based 120*160 pixel TFT LCD. The connections between the board and LCD are as follows:
| Display Pin Number | Display Pin Name | Pi pico Pins |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | VCC | 5V |
| 1 | GND | GND |
| 10 | CS | GP18 |
| 6 | RESET | GP17 |
| 7 | A0 | GP16 |
| 8 | SDA | GP11 |
| 9 | SCL | GP10 |
| 15 | LED | 3.3V |
For a different board, you will have to update code to use PINs which were used for connecting the LCD
Things to try
- Add a reset button to re-start the game.
- Play around with 'scale' variable, try different value (recommended values are 2,4,8)
