README.md

This is an Apple II port of Conway's Game of Life.

It should build with no modification on Linux, macOs and Windows 10 (using the bash).

Two binaries will be produced.

gol.out is a Linux executable.
gol.a2 is an Apple II executable

Prerequisite in order to build:

The cc65 compiler suite, with the environment variable CC65_HOME set to its folder

Prerequisite in order to produce the disk image

Java Runtime
AppleCommander

Embedding the Apple 2 binary into the disk image

Run the add-to-disk.sh script.

Title screen

The title screen art is located in the assets folder. It has to be manually loaded on the disk image using the AppleCommander's GUI, for the command line loads a corrupted file! This screen was converted from a PNG using Rgb2Hires.
