+# Game Of Life TI84 Plus
+Conways Game of Life program for the TI 84 Plus.
+# Installation
+1. Install [TI Connect CE](https://education.ti.com/download/en/ed-tech/CA9C74CAD02440A69FDC7189D7E1B6C2/C00F5FB54B4644699ADF6B3B1395FAFC/TIConnectCE-5.4.0.1181.exe "TI Connect CE") on Windows

+5. Under the Actions menu, press "Send to Calculator"
+6. Ensure installation on calculator by pressing "PRGM". LIFE should be listed
+
+# Tutorial
+
+Open LIFE on TI 84. You should be greeted with:<br>
+`BOX SIZE
+`<br>
+`V?`
+<br>
+This is where you insert the box size for the program. I recommend around 20 to start off. Anything more than that will be quite slow due to the TI 84s slow processing speed.
+
+Press F1 to use the pen. Use the direction keys to navigate inside the box. When you want to turn on a cell, press the enter key.
+If you hover over a cell that is turned on, it will turn off automatically, so be careful.
+When you are done with the pen, press F5 to quit using it.
+
+To start the cellular automata, press F2. Loading each frame might take longer depending on the box size.
+
+When you are done using the program, press the ON button to break the program loop.
