Pick a frame size (30 is good). Click to make an initial frame, then press the checkmark to watch the simulation. Try building the objects on the left. --- This is one of my older projects, but I unshared and reshared it to test something.
ABOUT: 'The Game of Life' was created by John Conway in 1970. At that time, there were no computers, so it was a very slow process prone to errors. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life HOW IT WORKS: Each cell is either dead or alive (red is alive). Its state in the next generation is determined by its 8 neighboring cells. It will die if there are fewer than 2 or more than 3. It will survive if it was already alive and there are 2 or 3 neighbors. A cell will be born if it has exactly 3 neighbors. This configuration creates some interesting patterns!
