Yet another Game of Life visualizer, built with React.
Deployed on netlify: https://sjoseph7-conways-game-of-life.netlify.app/
Note: This visualizer is not very mobile-friendly, the grid doesn't resize to fit in smaller viewports and some hover effects exhibit undesired behaviors on devices without cursors.
I recently went through a react course on scrimba.com that gave me a better understanding of React and why I should use it. Once I completed the course, I was eager to go out into the world and start creating some React projects - this is the first project I've worked since that course, and I'm sure there will be many more to come.
The underlying code was built with help from this tutorial on freeCodeCamp's YouTube channel. After working my way through the tutorial, I challenged myself to extend the functionality of the app to differentiate it from the tutorial code (like color-coding groups of cells based on a group size efficiently calculated using union find). This repository showcases my efforts.
