Game of Life on a torus [solved]

[screw3d]

I am trying to implement a very basic Game of Life program on C++ on a 2D torus field.

Right now I have a 50x50 array, how do I make the blocks (my 'cells') wrap across the grids?

I understand that the modulus (%) operator must be used...

Any ideas?

TIA

Can someone explain what a 2D torus is? I'm only familiar with the 3D donut shaped variety.

Sorry what I meant was something if u skin donut and lay it on a flat surface.

I've solved it anyway

Like a mobius strip or without the twist?

Imagine connecting two edges of a piece of paper... it forms a tube. Then connect the two openings to each other. That's the torus.

What I tried to implement was this piece of paper that works as if it's connected as above
