having fun : game of life
One of the skills that is worth practicing is reading other people's code.
In this case, working through what's in the js example is a worthwhile exercise.
Things to look for and think about:
- Can I download (some of) this and use it?
- What coding styles is it written in?
- Which technologies (i.e. libraries, API's, etc) is it built on? (... and perhaps then go google and read about them).
- In other ways could this be done? (i.e. command line only, Zelle's graphics library, ...)
