A port of Conway's Game of Life for Apple II computers

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).

---

It will produce the file gol.a2, which 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.

Splash screen

The splash 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.
