Overview
A cellular automaton is a model studied in computer science, mathematics, physics and theoretical biology. It visualizes evolving patterns based on simple rules of life and death.
The Game of Life is the most famous one: an infinite two-dimensional grid of cells that are either alive or dead. Every cell interacts with its eight neighbours, and at each step:
1. A live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies (underpopulation).
2. A live cell with two or three live neighbours survives.
3. A live cell with more than three live neighbours dies (overpopulation).
4. A dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes alive (reproduction).
Short form: Birth = 3, Survive = 2, 3. There are 218 = 262,144 possible Life-like rules, and only a small fraction of them has been studied in detail. This asset can simulate all of them.
