Conway’s Life In the Marketplace

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Jesse Liberty

I’m pleased to report that the first iteration of Conway’s Life, documented here, is now in the marketplace.  [ Updated March 24 with Faster/Slower Buttons ]

Following the conventional rules of Conway’s Game Of Life, the screen is divided into cells. Each generation a cell dies of loneliness if it has fewer than 2 neighbors, or of overcrowding if it has more than 3 neighbors.  Live cells stay alive with 2-3 neighbors, and dead cells come to life with 3 neighbors.
