2. Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

   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 ...

3. Methuselah (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselah_(cellular...

   R-pentomino to stability in 1103 generations. In Conway's Game of Life, one of the smallest methuselahs is the R-pentomino, [2] a pattern of five cells first considered by Conway himself, [3] that takes 1103 generations before stabilizing with 116 cells.

4. Oscillator (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillator_(cellular...

   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.

5. Golly (program) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golly_(program)

   It includes a hashlife algorithm that can simulate the behavior of very large structured or repetitive patterns such as Paul Rendell's Life universal Turing machine, [4] and that is fast enough to simulate some patterns for 2 32 or more time units. [5] It also includes a large library of predefined patterns in Conway's Game of Life and other ...

6. 3D Life - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Life

   3D Life is a three-dimensional extension and exploration in the variants of Conway's Game of Life. It was first discovered Carter Bays. A number of different semitotalistic rules for the 3D rectangular Moore neighborhood were investigated. It was popularized by A. K. Dewdney in his "Computer Recreations" column in Scientific American magazine.

7. Glider (Conway's Game of Life) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_(Conway's_Game_of_Life)

   The glider is a pattern that travels across the board in Conway's Game of Life. It was first discovered by Richard K. Guy in 1969, while John Conway's group was attempting to track the evolution of the R-pentomino. Gliders are the smallest spaceships, and they travel diagonally at a speed of one cell every four generations, or /

8. Breeder (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_(cellular_automaton)

   Evolution of an MSM breeder – a puffer that produces Gosper guns, which in turn emit gliders.. In cellular automata such as Conway's Game of Life, a breeder is a pattern that exhibits quadratic growth, by generating multiple copies of a secondary pattern, each of which then generates multiple copies of a tertiary pattern.

9. Gun (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_(cellular_automaton)

   Bill Gosper discovered the first glider gun in 1970, earning $50 from Conway. The discovery of the glider gun eventually led to the proof that Conway's Game of Life could function as a Turing machine. [3] For many years this glider gun was the smallest one known in Life, [4] although other rules had smaller guns.
