Play John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBPlay the Game of Life online, a single player game invented in 1970 by Cambridge mathematician John Conway.
1-2-3-4 - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBIt is a cellular automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply.
Gosper glider gun - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBThe first known gun, and indeed the first known finite pattern displaying infinite growth, found by Bill Gosper in November 1970. This period 30 gun remains the smallest known gun in terms of its bounding box, though some variants of the p120 Simkin glider gun have a lower population.
Infinite growth - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBIn October 2014, Michael Simkin discovered a three-glider collision that produces a glider-producing stabilized switch engine and thus produces infinite growth from the smallest possible number of gliders (since all 71 2-glider collisions have a finite limit population).
Weekender - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBIt is a cellular automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply.
Time bomb - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBIt is a cellular automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply.
2c/3 wire - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBIt is a cellular automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply.
P246 gun - John Conway’s Game of Life
WEBA true period glider gun with period 246, discovered by Dave Buckingham in June 1996. The 180-degree mod-123 symmetry of its bookend -based engine makes it trivial to modify it into a double-barrelled gun. Its single-barreled form is shown below. Game of Life Explanation. Rules.
Reflector - John Conway’s Game of Life
