3D Game of Life

This is a sample for my rendering engine based on Xerol's generations demo. (http://xerol.org/generations/). It's especially easy to notice the gliders and the repeating patterns with this 3rd dimension as time approach.

Did you make this from scratch or use the old version as a base?

@XerolOplan I only used pictures as a reference, no code. If you want, you can see the code. Just send me a PM.

Looks Like Minecraft xD

By editing the algorithm and by keeping the previous generations instead of fading them out after a time you'd have a kind of 3D mountain generator.

its not actually 3d, its a 3d representation of the progress of the simulation, or minecraft XD

@jarblewarble SEEMS LEGIT

but seriously, someone should shoot Notch a heads up about this.

i love the life in 3D

[FahlmanCascade]

I like the visualization, but the music is too loud!

[iambored404]

This is really, really cool. I love the 3D visualizations!

@kristianf4lk It should be Minecraft's coral reef generator.

[matthewdoucette]

this is amazing! so cool!

3D tetris

[lordofgangstas]

@DoctorMelon Then you could build a minecraft-esque game and use this for its terrain generation.
