Why is it free?

If I can download it for free, why can’t I start it without paying $7?

怎么玩完全没有说明白,是不是不给钱就不能玩?48元?怎么玩都搞不明白,还想让人购买?

看起来挺好玩的

什么时候免费啊?想玩但没钱

还不错

虽然要钱,但是是我找到的所有应用中录屏效果最好的,建议是增加随机生成开局以及区域复制的功能。另外,回溯应该回溯到上一次暂停的时间点,而不是上一次清场的时间点

I somehow like this game but I need an explanation. What is the point? This is not a criticism, but a genuine question. Is there a goal?

What is Alive or Dead: Game of Life?

Alive or Dead: Game of Life is a mobile application that simulates Conway's Game of Life, a famous cellular automaton. It allows users to create initial patterns and observe how they evolve based on a set of simple rules.

How does Conway's Game of Life work?

The game operates on a grid of cells, each either alive or dead. Rules determine the state of cells in the next generation based on the number of live neighbors.
