Conway's game of life put into the 3rd dimension. There are many games of life on scratch, but no one has ever completed a 3D adaptation. while the rules remain the same, each cell now has 26 neighbors instead of just 8, making for more complex interactions between cells. Use the arrow keys to rotate the grid. Usually the game takes place on a 2D infinite plane, but due to limitations I moved it onto a 10x10x10 grid that will loop around. make sure to try out the editor to make your own unique patterns. John Conway’s death in April 2020 was a huge loss for the world of math. He’s known for creating the Game of Life, but he also made big contributions to group theory, knot theory, and surreal numbers. His ideas continue to inspire mathematicians today. ---Credits Code art and sfx: @Pentahedron music: Pikmin 4 Created for the @Griffpatch game jam with the theme: shape shifter. (you can't get much more shape shifting than Conway's game of life.) Change Log: - 1.0.1 minor bug fixed soon after release. (oops) - 1.1.1 major bug affecting accuracy in neighbor checks patched same day as release. also optimized generation code making it run much faster.
