Question

Plz help me the game of life 2-d arrays assignment in c++ language and need three separate files, incudes header file, main file, client file. My program doesn't work, help me get the correct program.

Your task is to write a program that plays the game of life. This game is a computer simulation of the life and death events in a population of single-cell organisms. Each position in a two-dimensional grid (Petri dish) can support one cell. The program determines whether each position will be able to support life in the next generation.

The grid of cells is represented by a two-dimensional array. The starting grid is generation 0 and is read from a supplied input file. Most positions in the grid have 8 neighbors like the center square in a tic-tac-toe game. The four corner positions have only 3 neighbors each. The remaining positions around the edge of the grid have 5 neighbors each. The rules for the state of each position in the next generation of the grid are as follows:

If the cell is currently empty:

If the cell has exactly three living neighbors, it will come to life in the next generation.

If the cell has any other number of living neighbors, it will remain empty.

If the cell is currently living:

If the cell has one or zero living neighbors, it will die of loneliness in the next generation.

If the cell has four or more living neighbors, it will die of overcrowding in the next generation.

If the cell has two or three neighbors, it will remain living.

All births and deaths occur simultaneously. This point is critical to the correct result.

The following three webpages are also available: the data file, the correct output, and the output including intermediate generations. The last webpage is available to help you debug your code.

The data file supplies the data for generation 0. Each line of data gives a pair of coordinates (row# column#) for a living cell in the original grid. Assume that every number in the text file is between 0 and 19. All other grid positions are empty. Please name your input file "life.txt".

After your program has created the two-dimensional array that represents generation 0, your program must allow life to proceed for the number of generations specified by the user. Start with five generations. Your program should then display a grid on the screen to show the final results. Use a star (*) to represent a live cell and a space to represent a dead cell. After the grid, display the following statistical information:

The number of living cells in the entire board.

The number of living cells in row 10.

The number of living cells in column 10.

Please make sure that your output matches the correct output exactly.

Your first step will be to create a class named boolMatrix for storing and processing a two-dimensional array of bool values. The class should be saved in a specification file and an implementation file. Your client program must use this class rather than declaring its own arrays. You must not use any arrays in your client program.

You'll be defining two constants in your class, but you need to know a little bit about "static" members of classes first. With all of the class members we have used so far, each class object that the client declares has its own copy. With a "static" member, there is just one copy of the member that all objects share. Since constants don't change, it makes sense to just have one copy that all objects share. So, when you declare constants, you must make them static.

In the public area of your class you must define two public constants, NUM_ROWS AND NUM_COLS. I'll give you this code for free:

There are a few places in the descriptions of the member functions below where you are required to use "assert()". Here is a quick tutorial on using assert. First, you need to place #include at the top of your implementation file. Then you can call a function named assert(), placing a logical expression inside the parentheses. If the logical expression is true, nothing happens. If the logical expression is false, the program exits and an error message is printed. For example, your assert might look like this:

Keep in mind as you write the class that it is to be completely unrelated to the game of Life. The class should not mention anything about life, cells, neighbors, etc. The class will have exactly one private data member that is an array of bool. The class will have seven member functions:

default constructor: initialize all of the array elements to false

get: return the current contents of a single array element. Use arguments to indicate the row and column of the array element that should be returned. This function must use assert to exit the program if the row or column is out-of-bounds. You will receive a 0 on the assignment if this is not implemented.

set: set the contents of a single array element. Use arguments to indicate the row and column of the array element that should be set, and the value to which it should be set. This function must use assert to exit the program if the row or column is out-of-bounds. You will receive a 0 on the assignment if this is not implemented.

rowcount: return the number of true values that exist in any given row. This function must use assert to exit the program if the row is out-of-bounds. You will receive a 0 on the assignment if this is not implemented.

colcount: return the number of true values that exist in any given column. This function must use assert to exit the program if the column is out-of-bounds. You will receive a 0 on the assignment if this is not implemented.

totalcount: return the number of true values that exist in the entire array

print: display the contents of the array, including the row and column indices (see the posted correct output). For each element of the array, a true value must be displayed as an asterisk ("*") and a false value must be displayed as a space. This member function is the only one that displays output.

Use const to indicate const functions and unchangeable reference parameters whenever possible.

In this program, a minimum of five functions is required in addition to main(). In my solution there are seven functions besides main(). Remember our discussions about stepwise refinement, value-returning vs. void functions, and value parameters vs. reference parameters.

The only documentation required is the initial file documentation for each of the three files. Note that this means you must provide pre/post conditions in your header file.

Hints

Use iterative development.

Keep straight that the array is a data member within the class object and must be accessed accordingly.

You should definitely have a function named countNeighbors() in your client program. I'm providing that function here. Note that it calls another function named "onGrid" that you will need to provide.

Here is what I got so far
