GOLU
Game of Life - Universes: Explore cellular automata with infinite possibilities
Overview
GOLU stands for Game of Life - Universes, representing the concept that cellular automata can exist in different "universes" with varying physics rules. While Conway's original Game of Life uses the famous B3/S23 rule, this interactive explorer extends his work by allowing you to experiment with configurable neighborhood definitions and influence patterns.
Key Features
🌍 Multiple Universes
Each configuration creates its own unique universe with distinct behaviors - some favor explosive growth, others promote stability, and some generate entirely novel patterns.
🔬 Emergent Complexity
Even the simplest systems can exhibit fascinating complexity, making GOLU a fun tool for exploring emergent phenomena.
🎮 Interactive Exploration
Become an explorer of universes, each with their own emergent complexity and beauty. Experiment with different rules and watch patterns evolve.
🔄 Share Your Discoveries
Download your favorite universes and share them with friends. Exchange configurations to explore each other's discoveries and build on interesting patterns together.
