In the GOL program by shiffman I want to input values for board in run time instead of a random func
While Using the game of life program of the series " nature of code " by daniel shiffman, I want to fill the board with input values given by me in run time of the program instead of using a random function as it has been done in the GOL program. when I tried getting input for board using normal java method I'm not able to fill the board in run time, so please suggest a solution for my problem.

you could load a table with the initial configuration of the grid.
this is not really runtime... but still...
you could also let the user edit the grid as he wants, and then he clicks a button start, the state of the program changes and GOL starts...
You can use JOptionPane's showInputDialog() in setup():

And if you wanna deploy it to the web, you can use the wrapper class I did for JS' prompt():
