Game of Life - aka Cellular Automata 0 Comments

You don't have to be a computer, math, or biology geek to appreciate this simple little 'game'.  In reality, more of a learning tool and excercise - but vastly playable and addicting. 

Life - Cellular Automata - is a game I have been playing with since the early 1980's.  An early version I played with on my PET2c GreenScreen-Tape-Drive-only PC back in 1982.  Other variations I have played with include on for my Commodore Plus 4 and Commodore 64/128.  More versions became available for my Amiga.. my Trash 80.. My Tandy.. and eventually Windows 3.11!!   To this date, you will find versions of this game on all of my PC's.

he earliest results in the Game of Life were obtained without the use of computers. The simplest still-lifes and oscillators were discovered while tracking the fates of various small starting configurations using graph paper, blackboards, physical game boards and the like. During this early research, Conway discovered that the F-Pentomino
failed to stabilize in a small number of generations.
