Life

Conway's Game of Life, ported from wasp-os's game_of_life. A cell lives on with two or three live neighbours and is born with exactly three, on a 16 by 16 board that wraps at its edges.

Using it

• The board starts from an acorn, a small pattern that keeps growing, and steps on a generation about every 0.6 seconds.
• Each generation draws in the next of nine bright colours.
• Tap the screen to start the acorn again.
• Long press to scatter a random soup of cells instead.
• The screen stays on while the app is open.

Screens

The acorn the board starts from, in the first colour, red.

The acorn ten seconds later, sixteen generations on and drawn in purple.

A random soup scattered with a long press, about a third of the cells alive.
