Bug & Feature(Convoys_GameofLife): Fix Windows curses crash, screen bounds errors, dead pause var, add presets & ANSI fallback

[Prayas340]

Description

The Convoys_GameofLife/GameOfLife.py script contained several critical bugs, crashes on Windows, unhandled screen resize exceptions, dead code, and documentation placeholders:

1. Windows Crash on Launch: Standard import curses fails on Windows with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses'. The README incorrectly instructed pip install curses instead of windows-curses.
2. Terminal Bounds / Resize Crash: Calling stdscr.addstr() on screen boundaries and bottom-right coordinate without clamping caused curses.error: addstr() returned ERR when resized to smaller terminal sizes.
3. Dead / Unimplemented Code: pause = False was initialized but never used in the main loop, preventing users from pausing or stepping through generations.
4. Performance Issues: Using copy.deepcopy(grid) every frame in a tight loop added heavy performance overhead.
5. Missing Features & Presets: No support for famous pattern presets (Glider, Pulsar, Gosper Glider Gun, Blinker, Beacon, Toad), no single-step mode, and no fallback rendering mode when curses is not available.
6. Documentation Placeholders & Typos: README.md had unfilled template headers (# Script Title) and typos in titles and status bars (Genration:). Missing requirements.txt and automated tests.

Type of issue

• Feature (New Script / Enhancements)
• Bug
• Documentation

Checklist:

• I have read the project guidelines.
• I have checked previous issues to avoid duplicates.
• This issue will be meaningful for the project.
• I have added steps to reproduce the bug
• I have proposed a possible solution for the bug

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a terminal on Windows and run python GameOfLife.py.
2. Notice immediate crash ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses'.
3. In a curses terminal, resize window smaller than status bar length -> curses.error crash.
4. Try pressing pause -> feature does not exist.

Proposed Solution:

• Decouple simulation engine into GameOfLifeEngine for clean testing and modularity.
• Add safe coordinate rendering with safe_addstr() to prevent curses boundary exceptions.
• Implement ANSI terminal fallback mode for seamless execution without curses.
• Add built-in pattern presets (Glider, Blinker, Toad, Beacon, Pulsar, Gosper Gun).
• Add interactive controls: Pause (Space/p), Step (n), Randomize (r), Clear (c), Wrap toggle (w), Presets (1-5), Speed adjustment.
• Add CLI automation support (argparse).
• Add unit test suite in test_game_of_life.py and create requirements.txt.
• Update README.md with complete documentation.
