Cellular Automata: Conway's Game of Life

at 0:03 it turns into a dick...

[lordbenno5000]

To anyone who has golly...

Go to 'set rules' and put in B1/S1 and prepare to have an epileptic attack

[sams3141]

A good program is Golly

[weterman4320]

Respond to this video...  looks like a universe

[uzzyytt]

:O Where did you get the game from ?

It looks cool...

[MathDemos]

I think this program is called winlife32. Its free

[FlashonVideos]

I love cellular automata. I don't tell anyone, though.

I've developed a lot of stuff. I use Golly program.

[robertisaistrujillo]

There's lots of them. Google the term 3dca, i think the second link you pull up goes to my page where i have a list of 3D cellular automata apps for the PC.. Nice to see people are still interested in CA enough to post a video..

[budhasac]

Where do i get the best ver of this game. The one i downloaded is just like the small one.

[MathDemos]

Try winlife32 its free.

[OohSoEpic]

@budhasac

Golly is the best one

[jschnei3]

How many steps before it stabilized? How big did it get?

[MathDemos]

I think it went to generation 3355, and hovered around 750-950 at its peak. I have not used the program in a while

[googiek]

It actually went until 5576 generations.

Cellular automata are really cool.

[Nephallux]

hell yeah they are

[googiek]

lol

[nubbytubbys]

what the hell just happened?

[MathDemos]

What you saw was a pattern changing based on the current step. Sort of like when you drop a stone in a pond the ripples expand alot and then disappear as time goes on.

[skyseeker901]

with a game like this, who needs spore?

XD

[Gamelvl84]

Lawl.

[Nephallux]

Was that the Pi Heptamino?

[Werelion2367]

It might be, I found it out just by random, but it was almost certainly discoverd before me. (also I am mathdemos, werelion2367 is my other account)

[Nephallux]

Cool man. :)

other's are named things like rakes, rays, gliders (which are the floating fragments you see moving diagonal across the screen in your video.. down toward the sides)...

[Nephallux]

Yeah i remember writing a conway's game of life program long ago, and I started searching for patterns to use in it that were discovered. You would be amazed at what people have done with it :O

I'll have to upload a video of my own if I find those pattern files again. one of them is a working turing machine simulated inside of the life universe.

[googiek]

a really cool thing I found out is that you can actually make computers with Conway's Game of Life

[CHADOW66]

very cool
