Is there hexagonal analog of Conway’s Game of Life?
The short answer is that in the hexagonal case the best analog of Conway’s Game of Life — in my opinion as someone who has been a CA hobbyist for 30 years or so —…
Some cellular automata
A friend of mine, Jack Kutilek, wrote a web-based player for the CA rules format that I used in Lifelike — basically simple JSON files that describe a state table and the meta-information you need…
Lifelike, or the Joy of Killing Time via Breeding Little Squiggles
A couple of weeks ago I got interested in this project but wanted full control of the code, wanted to know exactly what it is doing, wanted a bunch of features like the ability to import…
