This is a miniature version of "Conway's Game of Life" (it's miniature because I think it would slow down alot if it had a lot of boxes. credit for the idea goes to Dapontes and Armorgames for having similar themed stuff. Dapontes has a GIF of it for his picture, and armorgames has a simulation/game made of it (the irRegular game of life) Of course credit also goes to Conway. Now that that's done, the explanation. Conways Game of Life has four steps/rules 1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by underpopulation. 2. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding. 3. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. 4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell. (more info on this from wikipedia)(I got these rules copied from wikipedia) At the beginning click the "cells" to make them switch between live (red) and dead (blue) and press spacebar to see what happens. The green bar shows how long until the next image. When it is completely green it will go to the next image. --- These notes were copied from an unsuccessful attempt at this which was very different so anything that doesn't quite seem right is because of that
--- if you don't have any idea about this, go to wikipedia (I will try to insert the link here) and check out some of the facts and stuff.
--- many patterns are too big for this but I'll see if I can make more boxes/smaller boxes

very nice. I will check out your othe rprojects. look at my 3D version if you have not seen it. dapontes is a gentleman;=>
thanks!
(view all replies)Very nice. I tried a checkerboard pattern and got 4 different images. Thanks for the detailed explanations in the project notes.
thank you!
