Discover the beauty of cellular automata with Conway's Cells, a polished and powerful implementation of Conway's Game of Life for iOS. WHAT IS THE GAME OF LIFE? Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player game where cells on a grid live, die, or multiply based on simple rules. Despite its simplicity, it produces astonishingly complex behavior ā gliders that travel across the screen, oscillators that pulse rhythmically, and structures that generate infinite streams of spaceships. TAP, DRAW, AND EXPLORE ⢠Tap individual cells to toggle them alive or dead ⢠Use drawing tools (line, rectangle, circle) to sketch structures quickly ⢠Stamp pre-built patterns onto the grid with a ghost preview before placement ⢠Zoom in to see every cell, pan across large grids MANY CLASSIC PATTERNS Browse a curated library of famous Game of Life patterns: ⢠Still Lifes: Block, Beehive, Loaf, Boat, Ship, Pond ⢠Oscillators: Blinker, Toad, Pulsar, Pentadecathlon ⢠Spaceships: Glider, LWSS, HWSS, Copperhead ⢠Guns: Gosper Glider Gun, Simkin Glider Gun ⢠Methuselahs: R-pentomino, Acorn, Diehard ⢠Save your own creations to the pattern library 18 RULES Go beyond Conway's rules with HighLife, Seeds, Day & Night, Maze, Replicator and more.
