Conway's Game of Life

About this game

Watch digital life evolve into beautiful and interesting sequences. Conway's Game of Life follows simple rules, but can result in unexpectedly complex patterns.

The standard format involves an infinite grid of square 'cells', with some squares initially 'alive' and the rest 'dead'. At each step and for each cell one of four things can happen, based on the number of neighbour cells that are alive at the time:
- A dead cell remains dead (default)
- Life spawns in a dead cell, when dead cell has 3 live neighbours
- A live cell survives, when the live cell has 2 or 3 live neighbours
- A live cell dies (default)
You can also set up custom rules.

Simply touch a cell to toggle its state between dead and alive. You can also drag to apply this same state to a large number of cells. Manually changing the state of a cell pauses time for a while, so that you can make all of the changes you want before the cells are automatically updated.

Once you've found an interesting configuration, you can save it for later to show to your friends.

Ratings and reviews

There is no way to clear it! (Not that I know) And its interface is way to boring! Add some more customization Such as custom colors from a color wheel, custom background, 3d version, replace the blocks with custom images, and have a title screen that looks presenting! It's so bland and obviously outdated! At least add some sort of background, art, and ect to the title screen... Just like Tejinder Singh here I deleted it in 1 minute

Math classic - got it for my kid to learn algorithms.

Beutifully designed. I enjoyed your app. Tested glider ok
