Conway's Game of Life

Exploring the Unpredictable Beauty of Simple Rules

How can a grid of cells, following basic rules, give rise to patterns that seem to think for themselves? It’s the kind of question that pulls you in, blurring the line between order and chaos. And once you start to see the deeper implications about computation, unpredictability, and the nature of systems you might not look at the world the same way again.

Conway's Game of Life, devised by John Horton Conway in 1970, is more than just a game. It's a mathematical marvel that invites deep curiosity and intrigue with its simple yet intricate design. This is so interesting that even google has it embedded on webpage if you go and search for it:

For those new to the concept, understanding how a grid of cells can independently evolve and create complex patterns may seem elusive. Yet, this game challenges our perception of unpredictability and offers a glimpse into self-organising systems.

Rules and Mechanics

Once you set an initial arrangement of cells on this grid, the game progresses automatic…
