Welcome to my Game of Life! The beauty of the game of life is that complex patterns appear with such simple rules. This version of the Game of life, rather than being infinite, is bound to the surface of a torus. It's fun to draw shapes into the living cell grid and watch the patterns evolve.

According to Wikipedia, the rules are:

Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Please send in interesting patterns to admin@mvartan.com . I would really appreciate it and you would be featured in this section.
