Game of Life
 
The Game of Life is not a game per se. It is an example of a cellular automaton that simulates life in its simplest form. It was invented by mathematician John Conway in 1970.
There are many places dedicated to the Game Of Life on the Web. A very good explanation can be found at Math.com.
One of the most comprehensive sites dedicated to the cellular automata is Mirek's Cellebration. It gave me lots of ideas for writing my applet. I also used many rules and patterns posted by Mirek. Credits also to Edwin Martin's John Conway's Game of Life.
 
Here is my small contribution to the Life. It combines my interests in writing a Java applet, and playing the Life: finding numerous patterns and rules or being just mesmerized by watching generations of cells changing in front of my eyes.
Select a pattern from the list or create your own. Select a pre-set rule or invent one. Watch a pattern grow forever or become stable and then with one click of the mouse destroy an order and create a new explosion of life.
Enjoy!!!
