It doesn’t work

Once you hit play everything disappears. The simulation seems to be running, but nothing is displayed on screen.

Looks great but..

Looks to be a great app but I can’t see any of the visualizations. Wonder if it might need an update for the latest os?

Interesting App! Very well designed!

Not a whole lot of people know about Game of Life. But once you know the rules it gets super interesting, especially implementing different algorithms to improve performance.

Developer has done an excellent job designing the UI.

FAQ

What is Game of Life?

Game of Life is a cellular automaton simulation devised by John Horton Conway. It's a grid-based system where cells can be alive or dead, evolving based on simple rules applied to their neighbors.

How does Game of Life work?

The simulation applies rules to each cell: live cells with fewer than two or more than three neighbors die, live cells with two or three neighbors survive, and dead cells with exactly three neighbors become alive.

Can I customize the simulation in Game of Life?

Yes, you can adjust the grid size, draw your own initial patterns, use special patterns like glider guns, and control simulation speed from 0x to 100x.

Does Game of Life have ads?

No, this application does not contain advertisements.

What devices support Game of Life?

Game of Life is supported on iPhone and iPod devices.
