Conway's Game of Life Glimmer Sample

Glimmer DSL for SWT 4.20.13.11 just shipped with an implementation of Conway's Game of Life. A simpler version was blogged about many years ago, but it has been enhanced to be canvas-based instead of button-based.

The models Grid and Cell were written test first.

Otherwise, the GUI simply binds to the grid cells (the same way the Tic Tac Toe elaborate sample was implemented)

Glimmer DSL for SWT enables writing desktop applications in Ruby (JRuby) in a fraction of the time they normally take in other languages (think hours and days for an MVP instead of weeks and months)

Happy Glimmering!
