John Conway's Game of Life Online

Discover the Game of Life from the famous mathematician John Conway. A cellular automaton in your browser...

The Game of Life is easily one of if not the most famous cellular automaton. Despite it's simple rules, it can generates some remarquables structures.

Structure to spawn on mouse click : Glider Square R-Pentomino Boat Oscillator
Certain parameters might require a restart to take effect.
Cell size : || Size between cells :
Grid Width : || Grid Height :

Rules :

• An alive cell with 2 or 3 alive neighbors, stays alive.
  
• A dead cell with 3 alive neighbors, is colonised (becomes alive).
  
• All other cells stay dead or die.
