Cellular Automata: Conway's Game of Life

This is an example of how a simple intial condition with simple rules, can spawn chaos (Chaos Theory), and how in turn that chaos can settle down into a stable shape. It is "played" by having spaces on a grid, that either turn off or on, at each moment based on the numbers of currently on neighboring cells, invented by John Horton Conway, software used is winplot32 for rules and more examples see www.radicaleye.com/lifepage/

:O Where did you get the game from ?

It looks cool...

[MathDemos]

I think this program is called winlife32. Its free

[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.

[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

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

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

@budhasac

Golly is the best one

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

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

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..
