Publisher Description
Explore the iconic 'Life' cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway.
Study how trivial patterns evolve into complexity - or vanish after a couple of generations.
Choose from eight cell shapes and five color schemes, with an optional grid and afterglow trails.
A catalog containing more than 100 popular patterns, grouped by family, is included to explore and combine at your leisure.
A built-in cycle detection and other statistics provide insight into the current cellular automaton.
The rewind feature enables you to go back in time and reverse the last steps of the evolution.
Save the worlds you want to revisit and load them again later.
Export images or RLE representations to share online or import to other apps.
