samuel_trassare@11983 1 GtkLife is a fast, featureful, open-source Conway's Life program.

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.
al@18116 13
al@18116 14 That's all there is to it. Yet fascinating behavior arises from these simple
samuel_trassare@11983 15 rules.
