Ever wanted to travel across the Multiverse ? You can now do it in the Conway's Game of Life Universe !

I made this project in Erlang using ChicagoBoss.

##Setup

3. Clone this repository and run:

./rebar get-deps

./rebar compile

##Launching the webserver

Just run: ./init-dev.sh, and you should be able to go to http://localhost:8001/world_line/main

Looks like this:

Time has stopped, you can click on the dead cells to make them live and click on the live cells to make them die.

Click the Fork button to create a new world, and you will re-enter Flow Mode.

You can also set a name of the newly created universe:
