Description

Enjoy a colorful version of the famous game of life. A game based on simple mathematics that hides surprising properties!

Game of Life :
Initially, it's a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state. Here, you can influence the evolution at any time.

Rules :
The universe of the Game of Life is a two-dimensional orthogonal grid of square cells, each of which is in one of two possible states, alive or dead, or "populated" or "unpopulated". Every cell interacts with its eight neighbours, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following transitions occur:
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by underpopulation.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Colors :
To make the game more plaisant and attractive, you can choose the color of each cell. At each step, the color of a cell is determined by the average of its neighbour cells's colors.

Zoom in / zoom out :
To zoom in or zoom out, you can respectivly remove or add a row

Walls :
You can choose to use walls or not

Clear :
You can clear the grid when you want

Incredible concept!

This app is really cool! I love how the developers have implemented the colour mixing and it is not only very helpful for visualising where mixing occurs if you need the Game of Life as a model for something, but it's also very interesting to watch! How this app had only one rating before I wrote this and furthermore how it was a one star rating instead of the five it deserves, is entirely beyond me.

Of course there are more things that could be added, such as the option to vary how long each tick/phase/cycle lasts, and maybe information on interesting objects that have been discovered in the Game of Life (for example gliders and glider guns), and maybe even customisable rules to control how the cells are born and die, but of course none of this is necessary and the app is already fully functional and even exceptional due to the colour mechanic! Great job developers!!
