John Conway's Game of Life Demo

It's cute. I like the beeps.

I'm coding this in C# right now. I want to make the colors look interesting. How does coloring the Game of Life usually work? Is there a list of colors that the cells go through as they generate?

[1RothMan]

@zevex747 colour is normally irrelevant. In this video, it looks the colours reflect the 'age' of the cell. i.e, just born cells are blue, and they change to green when they are one generation old etc etc.

i have my own version in which new cells actually inherit the colour of the parent cells (plus a random mutation). It is on my profile if you are interested.

Hello. What system is the program running on? Also, what do the different colors represent?

[CodyClair]

The different colors tell wich ones are born(green), which die(blue), and which stay the same(red).

The 3 period oscillator is called a pulsar.

Kaleidoscope!

[Tournevios]

At the end there is a 3-cycle appearing!!

Try to desynchronise the updating!!

This was the most complicated looking pattern i could create just by random.

Yeah what the hell this is Math?

[willowtreephoto]

This is about the existence of life man!

[Xylence]

Where can  I get this game... You can make some pretty designs with it (Laugh out loud)

[bakertony]

What the hell?! Just how wasted do you have to be to give this video a high rating...?! I can appreciate the mathematics and understand what the game of life is, but I still really hope this was posted to enlighten the 10 year old scientific community... ;-)

But yeah, pretty I guess...

good colors
