Clean and straight-forward implementation of Conway’s game of life. The embedded version on itch.io didn’t work properly for me in that while I could draw cells with the mouse, none of the keyboard controls worked. Good job on the submission!

Thanks for the feedback!

The embedded HTML page worked in my testing on Firefox and Chrome, but it is very picky. If you click out of the iframe or use certain browser keyboard shortcuts then the application seems to lose the ability to process keyboard input (as you mentioned). I am looking into how to correct this for future SDL2 applications I put on itch.io, but for now you can visit https://www.ashn.dev/proj/life.html if you would like play a version of the game that (likely) does not suffer from this issue

Thanks again for taking the time to check out my submission!

Nice! Thanks for the link.
