Output formatting difference in life project

[BercemES]

Hi! First of all, thank you for sharing your repository. It has been very helpful while studying for rank 05. 🤩

I noticed something about the life project output formatting and wanted to ask about it.

In your implementation, the board is printed directly with all spaces:

void print_board(t_game* game)
{
	for(int i = 0; i < game->height; i++)
	{
		for(int j = 0; j < game->width; j++)
		{
			putchar(game->board[i][j]);
		}
		putchar('\n');
	}
}

However, the subject example seems to compress/remove extra spaces in the output. For example, the subject shows:

$> echo 'sdxssdswdxddddsxaadwxwdxwaa' | ./a.out 10 6 0 | cat -e
$
O OOO $
O O $
OOO O $
O OOO $
$

Because of that, I ended up using a different printing function to match the subject formatting more closely.
like that;
void print_res(t_game *game)
{
for (int i = 0; i < game->height; i++)
{
int j = 0;
while (j < game->width && game->grid[i][j] == ' ')
j++;
while (j < game->width)
{
if (game->grid[i][j] == ' ' && j + 1 < game->width && game->grid[i][j + 1] == ' ')
j++;
else
putchar(game->grid[i][j++]);
}
putchar('\n');
}
}

So I was wondering:

• did the exam accept the full-width output with spaces???
• or did you change the printing logic during the actual exam???

Thanks again for sharing your work! 😊

hi, the subject in this repo has some problems, u have to print normally every char no matter if its space or not.
