Conway's game of life variation

in Share your Work • 3 years ago

Game of life

- 1 random init

- 3 simple rules on a 24 neighborhoods grid :

a) less than 4 neighborhoods the cell die

b) more than 4 neighborhoods the cell die

c) 4 neighborhoods exactly and the cell stay alive or reborn

=> it generate a "real world" : take a look.

(press "1" key to start on the applet's page and other key for mouse editing, new init, ... : 1024*768 page on fullscreen mode)

(Already posted on the old forum)

Nobody seem to be interrested in posting original species -sic-

I found one other specie by myself :

Taped 2

NB : i will certainly improve the game applet with direct acces to this game of life (choice "1" actually) and a quick edit mode with all known species as brushes

Just found this. Really rich behaviour. Well balanced, stable results. I'm really impressed.

Thanks for the comment : i think the behavior is rich too for only 3 simple rules ...

In order to show it to all the others, some newer species :

Armada Big bang 2 Rotator

From your description I thought this should be the Larger-Than-Life rule given by the MCell string: R2,C0,M0,S4..4,B4..4,NM

But I'm not sure it matches your patterns?

I try to understand the MCell syntax and try your string but it's not my rules...

I try to find another MCell familly to match my rules but i don't find... If you'll get it tell me.

Rules :

- The test must be done on the 24 neighborhoods of the cell

- only 4 neighborhoods and the cell stay alive or born (if it was a dead cell)

- more or less 4 neighborhoods and the cell become a dead cell
