Yagols v4.4.3 - Yet another Game of Life simulator

Yagols is

• Not a game.

• A browser (canvas) implementation of the well-known simulation "Conway's Game of Life" (cellular automaton).

• One .html page with mainly JavaScript and a bit of HTML/CSS. No further dependencies.

---

Usage tip: Place cursor and press left button for 0.5s to place (a) cell(s).

Features

• Intuitive and fluid user interface.

• For beginning enthusiasts to easily explore and experiment with GoL.

• Generations are recorded. Works like a tape recorder (play / fast-forward / rewind).

• Switch cells "on" or "off" and change the GoL rule on the fly.

• The cells of a generation can be changed multiple times with unlimited undo.

• Changed generations are marked and can be easiliy found back to try something else.

• Infinite universe, in theory, in practice a 19,999,999 x 19,999,999 toroidal plane.

• Copy/paste RLE formatted text to add patterns.

• If the pattern evolves into an oscillator or spaceship it is automatically detected.

• Helicopter view of all "on" cells in the universe fitted within the viewing area.

• Older cells get a darker color; number of colors (shades) is variable.
