Explore and create Game of Life simulations. This app follows the laws of Conway's Game of Life, while allowing you to create reusable patterns, pause and play, clear the board, and more coming soon. Patterns are persistent even if you remove the app from background, to keep you from having to re-input them. Please send me feedback for features!

Stone Skip is a precision physics simulation built on a Spatial 3D lake environment. PHYSICS ENGINE - Dual-input control: independent power and angle sliders - Sweet-spot mechanics: ~15-degree angle bonus coefficient for peak performance - Per-stone skip coefficients: 5 stone types with distinct trajectory characteristics - Random variance system: adds natural feel to each throw VISUAL SYSTEM - 2.5D Spatial 3D rendering: sky-to-water dual gradient with atmospheric depth - Dynamic ripple animation: Circle stroke scale-expand with 1.2s fade simulation - Moon glow and distant shore silhouettes for environmental depth - StoneShape 3D pseudo-perspective: side face, top face, specular highlight PROGRESSION - 5 collectible stone types: Pebble, Slate, Granite, Jade, Obsidian - Unlock thresholds: 4, 7, 10, 14 skips for each progressive unlock - Historical data: last 30 throws stored as JSON via UserDefaults - Real-time HUD: skip counter and power metrics during flight PLATFORM - iOS 17+ / iPhone only / portrait - 100% offline: zero network, zero account, zero permissions - Bilingual: English and Simplified Chinese - Haptic: 3-tier feedback (light per skip, success, error)
