## running the toys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if you have [löve](https://github.com/love2d/love) installed on your system, you can just run the toys by name:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
love ants
|
||
|
|
# run with a cool square pattern
|
||
|
|
love ants LRRRRRLLR
|
||
|
|
# other options
|
||
|
|
love ants <rule> <grid-unit-width-px> <simulation-steps-per-frame>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
love life
|
||
|
|
# run with HighLife rules
|
||
|
|
love life B36/S23
|
||
|
|
# other options
|
||
|
|
love life <rule> <grid-unit-width-px> <simulation-steps-per-frame>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if you have [nix](https://nixos.org), you can use the provided flake.nix to get a working environment for running the games, as well as support for hot reloading if you want to hack on them.

|

|
|
```bash
|
||
