ModernLife Project Overview

Conway's Game of Life and other Cellular Automata Coded with C++/WinRT, WIL, WinUI3, Win2D, GSL

Why?

I learned C++ on C++/98 so

  • This is a great way to learn about improvements in C++ from C++ 11/14/17/20
  • This is a great way to learn our recommended Windows App Development path
  • Cellular Automata is something that interests me
  • The project includes many good opportunities for learning
  • XAML, XAML binding
  • Multithreading
  • Synchronization
  • Timers
  • Canvas and drawing
  • std:: and gsl:: and wil::
  • Class design and much more
