This two in one project langton's ant and the Conway's Game of Life.
This project was made with periodic boundary conditions.

1 blue pill STM32F103C8 or STM32F1 family microcontroller
1 8x8 LED Matrix Drived with MAX7219 (optional)

RCC_OSC_IN & RCC_OSC_OUT = 8MHz Oscillator
LED = Led for indicator
SPI1* and CS pins = MAX7219
SYS_JT* = debug

The 1st function called is init_map, it's take 2 arguments :

• The 1st one is a pointer of a St_Ant structure
• The 2nd one is the structure map choosen (uint8_t)

The 2nd function called is HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT :

• The only one parameter is a pointer of a TIM_HandleTypeDef

The 3rd function called is Maxim_Init

• The only one parameter is a pointer of a SPI_HandleTypeDef

The 4th function called is Maxim_Map :

• The 1st parameter is a pointer of a SPI_HandleTypeDef
• The 2nd parameter is a pointer to the map

The 5th function called are life_game or Ant one of it is commented :
-The only one parameter is map of to the map

• Add other init structures for maps like Oscillators and Spaceships (Named in french in the code :)

SMT32CUBEMX was used to initialise the project code, please open the .ioc file to find my microcontroller configuration.
All libraries used in this project are from STM32CUBEMX from STMicroelectronics.
