Description
Cellular implements Conway's game of life with the original rules. A cell is either dead or alive. The following rules define the next state of each cell. Any cell with less than two neighbours dies for loneliness. So does a cell with more than three neighbours because of overpopulation. A cell with exactly three neighbours will get alive.
Use the simple arrow to simulate a single step or the double-arrow for the loop mode. Pause with the double bar and stop the with the square. The broom clears the matrix and the dice sets it to a random initial state. The pin saves the current state which will be reloaded by stopping the simulation. Tapping a cell in the matrix toggles the state
The size of the matrix and the simulation speed are set in the settings.

Ratings and Reviews
Crash
It is a good app, but if you press random, then stop, then random it crashes. It would also be great if you could zoom in and out with a pinch so it would be easier to build large things.
Interesting but poor core mechanics
While this app provides a fresh take of Conway’s game of life, the speed is poorly implemented. There is no ability to change the speed and the default is very slow. This is critical in high end implementations because certain initial conditions can result in 1000’s of iterations before stabilizing which would take hours to see in this app.
???
I just like the game don’t mind me.
