Game of Life in JQuery

Posted on November 10, 2009 by Guido Tapia

Hi All,

I’ve just done a tutorial video on JQuery, I chose to hack together a quick version of the Game of Life.  This tutorial aims to show how JQuery can help you modify the DOM on the fly and do some nifty manipulations.  I hope you enjoy.

Please let me know if there are other JQuery topics you would like to see covered in a ‘practical’ style video.

   Nice work!

   One minor typo:
   In placeRandomCells(), line 31, it should be ‘<’ instead of ‘>’:
   (Math.random() < chanceOfLiveCell)
