I've seen a video of it done with plates on a tiled floor. It was all still frames and human run between the scenes, though.DaveC426913 said:
Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton created by mathematician John Conway. In real life, it is a simulation of how simple rules can create complex patterns and behaviors in a grid of cells.
In the game, each cell can be either alive or dead. The state of a cell in the next generation is determined by its current state and the states of its eight neighbors. Cells live, die, or multiply based on a set of rules, creating dynamic patterns and structures.
Some common patterns in the Game of Life include oscillators, which repeat their pattern over a certain number of generations, and spaceships, which move across the grid. Gliders, blinkers, and beehives are examples of these patterns.
While Conway's Game of Life was designed as a mathematical model, its principles can be applied to various real-world systems, such as studying population dynamics, traffic flow, and even simulating the behavior of cells in biology.
Conway's Game of Life has been influential in the field of science and mathematics for its ability to demonstrate complex behavior emerging from simple rules. It has inspired research in various fields, including computer science, biology, and artificial intelligence.
