+# Conways Game Of Life
+
+This is a very simple implementation of Conway's game of life in golang using the bubbletea library.
+
+The starting grid is generated randomly so any game can last anywhere from 100-800(longest I was able to get) generations/steps before it start to become repetitive.
+
+To play just press space and look at how the life goes.
+
+## Planned features
+
+Here are some features I do plan on implementing in the future, if I ever get bored like I got yesterday and today and created this before work.
+
+- Use initial terminal size for grid
+- Update automatically without having to use space
+- Button to "restart" the game
+- Ability to load premade grids from text files
