 ====== Conway's Game of Life ======
-===== Introducere =====
+===== Introduction =====
 <note tip>
-Prezentarea pe scurt a proiectului vostru:
+This project is a recreation of John Conway's game of life using Arduino, with LEDs representing the cells and their evolution displayed in real-time.
-  * ce face
+  * The purpose of this project is entertainment and is inspired by an old game creating a physical representation of the cellular automaton for a more immersive and interactive experience.
-  * care este scopul lui
+  * The Game of Life serves as a fascinating example of a cellular automaton, showcasing emergent behavior from simple rules. It has been extensively studied by mathematicians and computer scientists to understand patterns, complexity, and the principles of self-organization in dynamic systems.
-  * care a fost ideea de la care aţi pornit

 <note tip>
-O schemă bloc cu toate modulele proiectului vostru, atât software cât şi hardware însoţită de o descriere a acestora precum şi a modului în care interacţionează.
+The rules are simple:
+  * Each cell on a grid can be in one of two states: alive or dead.
-Exemplu de schemă bloc: http://www.robs-projects.com/mp3proj/newplayer.html
+  * The state of each cell in the next generation is determined by its current state and the states of its eight neighboring cells.
+  * If a live cell has fewer than 2 alive neighbors, it dies (underpopulation)
+  * If a live cell has more than 3 alive neighbors, it dies (overpopulation)
+  * If a dead cell has exactly 3 alive neighbors, it becomes alive (reproduction)
+  * Live cells with 2 or 3 alive neighbors continue to live on the next generation

-Descrierea codului aplicaţiei (firmware):
+  * I am using LedControl.h library
-  * mediu de dezvoltare (if any) (e.g. AVR Studio, CodeVisionAVR)
+  * Source code {{:pm:prj2023:tmiu:proiect_game_of_life_care_merge_final.zip|}}
-  * librării şi surse 3rd-party (e.g. Procyon AVRlib)
+  * void randomize_cells(): gives a random configuration of cells, so the game has a starting point, or if you wanna change the cell configuration mid game;
-  * algoritmi şi structuri pe care plănuiţi să le implementaţi
+  * void countAliveNeighbors(int row, int col): counts the number of alive neighbors in the position world[row][col], diagonals also count;
-  * (etapa 3) surse şi funcţii implementate
+  * void next_generation(): figures out the next generation based on the rules i mentioned above, and is using countAliveNeighbors(row,col) and copies the new "world"(of cells) into the current one;
+  * void showOnLed(): shows on the physical LED, the configuration set on the integer matrix world[8][8] that is filled with ones and zeros
+  * For the joystick control part : if (joystickX != selectedCellX || joystickY != selectedCellY) - ensures that the selected cell state is updated only when the joystick position changes
+  *Inside the if condition, I updated the selectedCellX and selectedCellY variables using the map() function. This maps the joystick's analog values (ranging from 0 to 1023) to the corresponding cell coordinates in the world array (ranging from 0 to SIZE-1).
+  *For changing the state of the selected cell upon joystick click, I added code to check if the joystick click button (JOYSTICK_CLICK_PIN) is pressed and the joystickClicked flag is false. If the conditions are met, the state of the selected cell is toggled by calculating the opposite state using (cellState + 1) % 2. The state of the selected cell in the world array is updated, and the LED at the selected cell position is set to the new state using lc.setLed(). The joystickClicked flag is then set to true.

-O arhivă (sau mai multe dacă este cazul) cu fişierele obţinute în urma realizării proiectului: surse, scheme, etc. Un fişier README, un ChangeLog, un script de compilare şi copiere automată pe uC crează întotdeauna o impresie bună ;-).
