How to Play
Controls
- Click or drag on the grid to toggle cells alive.
- Each step: a live cell with 2-3 neighbors survives; a dead cell with exactly 3 becomes alive.
- Load a preset pattern, then press Play to watch it evolve.
About
Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player mathematical game. Despite its simple rules, it produces remarkably complex and beautiful emergent behavior.
Tips
- Rules are B3/S23: birth at 3 neighbors, survival at 2 or 3.
- A glider moves diagonally across the board forever.
- Still lifes like blocks never change once formed.
