Life

Initial upload for Conway Twitty. I am making this version of Conway Twitty's Game of Life for my Programming 2 class. Mr. Twitty sees the want to in my eyes.

life's Issues

Jump doesn't work

When I enter J to use the jump command, the program stops and sends out an error. The error says, "AttributeError: 'Life' object has no attribute 'stop_simulation'".

LongL

I don't know if you have a specific reason for this, because it kind of looks legit enough to have been done on purpose, but the custom world longL displays a world with more alive cells than just the longL. Like I said, this could be a different, special version of longL that you implemented, but if it's not, I figured I'd better make you aware of it.

Need a Library For the set Worlds

So, right now you have your worlds that people can save and open all in the same method. This includes your acorn, longL, and gliderGun. This means that if people save a world to one of those names then it will be replaced. A way to fix this is to just create a whole separate method called library where people are unable to save worlds to it but they can open them up.

Change size issue

There is also an error when I tried to have a 1x1 world (Index out of range since it can't have 1x1 world) so I decided to change the size limitation from 1 to 2, so that user can, at least, have 2x2 world as the smallest world they can have.

Jumping issue

There aren't any big big problems, great work overall. For the jump_generations() function, there is an error that stated 'Life' object has no attribute 'stop_simulation', I assumed that you didn't finish this.

Spacing in instructions

In your instructions at your help screen, the first few menu options are explained one per line. Then after the size option is explained, you give a line of space between each menu option. I think that it could look a lot better if you spaced it all one way or all the other way. There may be a reason you did it that way, but to me it seems like it'd be better one way or the other.

Jump is written as an option twice in the menu

In your menu that lists your commands, jump appears twice as an option.

Changing size issue

When you put in the dimensions for changing the size, if you put 1 for either of them you get an error. This would kind of make sense. You could fix this by making it so they just are unable to enter 1.
