samuel_trassare@11983 | 3 Conway's Life is a form of artificial life (specifically, a cellular automaton)- |
samuel_trassare@11983 | 4 one of the simplest there is. There are only a few rules: |
samuel_trassare@11983 | 5 |
al@18116 | 6 1. The game is played on a rectangular grid, where each cell is either alive or |
al@18116 | 7 dead. |
al@18116 | 8 2. Each generation is computed from the state of the previous generation, using |
al@18116 | 9 rules 3 and 4: |
al@18116 | 10 3. A live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors (adjacent cells, including diagonals) |
al@18116 | 11 lives on. Otherwise it dies. |
al@18116 | 12 4. A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes to life. |
