This project implements Conway's Game of Life for the Einstein Hat and the Spectre.
It's playable here. Project documentation here.
- Left mouse button to draw (change stroke width for a wider stroke)
- Right mouse button to move the camera
- Scroll to zoom
- Play/Pause toggles running, Step advances by a single generation
- Update interval changes how fast generations update
-
Birth: Iff a dead cell has
$x ∈ \text{Birth}$ neighbors, it will be alive in the next generation. Multiple (or 0) values possible. -
Survival: Iff an alive cell has
$x ∈ \text{Survival}$ neighbors, it will be alive in the next generation. Multiple (or 0) values possible. - Standard Game of Life rules are set in the UI on startup (Birth: 3 / Survival: 23, or B3/S23 for short)
- Add/Remove noise sets some random cells alive/dead
- B: 3 / S: 234
- forms resilient hexagons; add 5 and/or 6 to Survival for more stability
- B: 356 / S: 0123456 and variations
- Fill all cells, then Step through the generations (or set Update interval to 2.0s and press Play). You'll see intricate patterns emerging, which change at every turn and slowly devolve into chaos.
- B: 2 / S: 3
- fluctuating swarms
- B: 2 / S: 34
- B: 24 / S:
- B: 34 / S: 124
- B: 2 / S: 2345

Install Rust. Preferably the

cargo run --release
Tested on Linux with Wayland. On native, we are generating a tree which is one level deeper, around 600.000 shapes/cells, whereas on WASM it's around 60.000. Native runs faster, but otherwise there shouldn't be any difference to the WASM build.
