Title: Game Of Life Explorer
Post by: Tetra on June 11, 2006
After making this for the challenge I thought I would make a fully interactive version just show what these things are about.

What you can do with this prog is interact with the scene.You can place/remove living cells and there are a few built in shapes, then animate what you have done, or step through the animation.

Press F1 for key help.

That's a lot of fun, designing a new cell colony and hope that they don't die !

Very nice little toy, fascinating. You know there are so many possibilities. Maybe for example, colouring due to age or introducing permanent "sources" that cant die or varying the strength of one so it needs more neighbours before it dies. I wonder if it would be possible to write a texture generation system around this.

Anyway, karma up! Thanks for sharing.
