| 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. |
