You can see the current state of the cells. Green is alive, and black is dead.
You can change the game settings by using them:
- Set Random : Place cells in the field randomly.
- Clear : Clear all cells in the field.
- Density : Change the generation density at the time of Set Random. The larger this value, the denser the cells will place.
- Run / Pause : Start the simulation. Push this button again, simulation will pause.
- Speed : Change the speed at running the simulation.
- Go to next step : When pausing the simulation, you can take it to next step.
- Game rule option : Select one of the seven game rules.
Left click to place an alive cell. Right click to delete the cell.
Show how many generations have passed since the simulation start.
Two variables B and S are defined like this:
B= Number of surrounding cells required for birthS= Number of surrounding cells required for survival
So, "B3/S23" means that B = 3 and S = 2, 3.
Game rules list
- 1 : B3/S23 (Default)
- 2 : B36/S23 (HighLife)
- 3 : B34/S34 (3-4Life)
- 4 : B3678/S34678 (Day and Night)
- 5 : B1357/S1357 (Replicator)
- 6 : B1357/S02468 (Replicator2 / Fredkin)
- 7 : B36/S125 (2x2)
Let's see for yourself what kind of movement these will do!
Show you the flow until the start of simulation:
- Launch the app.
- After set density value as you like, press Set Random button.
- Select the game rule.
- Press Run to start simulation!
You can custom the settings of this app. Changing this setting may cause the app to behave erratically. Please be careful.
If you try, open Life Game Ver1.0/App/config/settings.json and edit the value.
- WorldSize - width : number of cells of width of the field (Default is 100)
- WorldSize - height : number of cells of height of the field (Default is 70)
- DefalutDensity : Density value set by default (Default is 0.35)
- Defalut Speed : Speed value set by default (Default is 0.5)
