Conway's Game of Life

This is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life using Next.js.

Requirements

• Build a web version of Conway's Game of Life that:
  • Has a UI that allows turning squares on and off;
  • Allows step-by-step navigation (advance both single and multiple steps); and
  • Allows playing Life forever given the provided state
• Simulate an API service that provides the game's back end.

Tech stack

The challenge's only requirements with regards to technology are that it is a web-based game and that it simulates an API connection. Therefore, the tech stack was chosen as follows:

• TypeScript, to ensure faster development of communications between the API and front end;
• Next.js for quick project scaffolding and built-in API and server-side rendering;
• TailwindCSS for quick visual prototyping
