Conway's Game of Life:
What is it?
- it is an algorithm that John Conway created in 1970 that proves that Machines can replicate themselves and more using a few simple rules of life.
- these rules of life determine whether a cell lives or dies.
what are the rules of life?
- Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
- Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
- Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
My project is taking this algorithm and creating a grid where these cells can propagate within the parameters of the rules of life.
Things I wish to add in the future:
-
turn it into a 2 player game.
-
make it fully responsive for mobile.
-
add configuration presets
