A game that simulates the birth and death of life. It's called a game, but you just watch it. It is a historical game devised by mathematician Conway in 1970 and is called Conway's Game of Life.
User guide
The creatures that appear in the Life Game are called cells, and life or death is determined by how many cells (1 to 8) exist around you (C).
1 2 3 4 C 5 6 7 8
The Game of Life will proceed according to the following conditions:
- If there are 3 cells around C, it will be born.
- Survive if 2 or 3 cells survive around C.
- Die if there are less than 1 or more than 4 cells around C.
Information displayed at the bottom of the screen:
- GEN - Current number of generations.
- MAG - Zoom level (x1 x2 x4 x8 x16).
- POS - Cursor coordinates (X .Y).
- Operation status (in progress, paused, stopped).
You will find 7 pre-saved datafiles in the Life Game at the very beginning (you can delete them if you want):
- Glider gun - A famous data that infinitely shoots a glider. The reference source data is off by two generations for some reason.
- Kazaguruma - This is an original data created with an image a long time ago. It shapes like a pinwheel.
- MAX - A famous data that spreads infinitely. However, in this game of life you are limited to the game screen only.
- MOVE - Data that moves in a certain direction. The aforementioned glider is one of them.
- OSCILLATE - A collection of data that repeats in a given generation. An example type is called Galaxy.
- ROUND - Data that makes it look like the glider is circling.
- STABLE - Data that maintains the same type from generation to generation.
In a world where the screen is quite small at 118x72, would it be possible to create a new model that has never existed before?
