Hey,

I'm trying to display GoL on a N5110 screen using an LPC1768. However I'm having trouble with the code. i don'f fully understand how to implement the rules.

Any help would be much appreciated

This is what I have so far (not finished yet)

1. include "mbed.h"
2. include "N5110.h"

void plotArray(); void clearCells(); void checkerBoard(); void drawLine(); int getPixel(); void srand(); int nx = 84; int ny = 48; int n = 0; int width = 5; int height = 10; int fill = 1; void randomiseBuffer(); void drawCircle(int x0,int y0,int radius,int fill);

N5110 lcd(p5,p6,p7,p8,p11,p13,p21);

int main() {

lcd.init();

lcd.printString("Welcome to", 15,1); lcd.printString("Conway's", 20,2); lcd.printString("Game of Life", 6,3); lcd.printString("Bilal Saleem",0,5);

wait (3);

clearCells();

lcd.init();

lcd.printString("Please use", 15,1); lcd.printString("the potent", 10,2); lcd.printString("iometer", 10,3); lcd.printString("to vary ", 1,4); lcd.printString("the brightness",0,5);

wait (3);

clearCells(); lcd.randomiseBuffer(); lcd.drawCircle(10,20,10,0); lcd.refresh(); int getPixel(); checkerBoard();

while(1) {

} }

void clearCells() {

for (int i = 0; i < nx; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < ny; j++) { lcd.clearPixel(i,j); } } lcd.refresh(); }

int getPixel (int i, int j) {

int n = 0; number of neighbours

if (lcd.getPixel(i-1,j-1)) pixel to top left n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i-1,j)) pixel to left n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i-1,j+1)) pixel to bottom left n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i,j-1)) pixel to top n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i,j+1)) pixel to bottom n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i+1,j-1)) pixel to top right n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i+1,j)) pixel to right n++; if (lcd.getPixel(i+1,j+1)) pixel to bottom right n++; return n; }

void checkerBoard() { loop through every other pixel and turn on pixel for (int i = 0; i < nx ; i+=2) { for (int j = 0; j < ny ; j+=2) { lcd.setPixel(i,j); }

} lcd.refresh(); }
