The Game of Life, also known as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [1] It is a zero-player game, [2] [3] meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial ...
Codewars is an educational community for computer programming. On the platform, software developers train on programming challenges known as kata . These discrete programming exercises train a range of skills in a variety of programming languages, and are completed within an online integrated development environment .
In Conway's Game of Life, oscillators had been identified and named as early as 1971. [1] Since then it has been shown that finite oscillators exist for all periods. [2] [3] [4] Additionally, until July 2022, the only known examples for period 34 were considered trivial because they consisted of essentially separate components that oscillate at smaller periods.
Eric S. Raymond has proposed the glider as an emblem to represent the hacker subculture, as the Game of Life appeals to hackers, and the concept of the glider was "born at almost the same time as the Internet and Unix". [7] The emblem is in use in various places within the subculture. [8] [9]
LifeWiki's homepage. LifeWiki is a wiki dedicated to Conway's Game of Life. [1] [2] It hosts over 2000 articles on the subject [3] and a large collection of Life patterns stored in a format based on run-length encoding [4] that it uses to interoperate with other Life software such as Golly.
A cellular automaton (CA) is Life-like (in the sense of being similar to Conway's Game of Life) if it meets the following criteria: The array of cells of the automaton has two dimensions. Each cell of the automaton has two states (conventionally referred to as "alive" and "dead", or alternatively "on" and "off")
A sample autonomous pattern from Lenia. An animation showing the movement of a glider in Lenia. Lenia is a family of cellular automata created by Bert Wang-Chak Chan. [1] [2] [3] It is intended to be a continuous generalization of Conway's Game of Life, with continuous states, space and time.
Anonymous;Code is a visual novel video game developed by Mages and Chiyomaru Studio, and is the sixth mainline entry in the Science Adventure series. Along with being a visual novel, it also has a fully working implementation of Conway's Game of Life built in that can be accessed via the in-game menu.
