the python life

(graveyard edition)

I had intended to write Conway's Game of Life in python.

By misunderstanding the game itself, I uncovered what I like to call the graveyard edition.

In the graveyard, every space on the grid contains a cell. each of those cells can exist in 1 of 2 states. Alive or Dead.

B23/S23 (this) A cell is "re-born" if it has 2 or 3 neighbours. It "survives" if it has 2 or 3 living neighbours; it dies otherwise.

why (this)?

why not?

very interesting patterns evolve from symmetrically balanced seeds.

seed ?

a seed is the originating pattern.

to create a seed:

1. touch/click to flip a cell between life and death.
2. press play to watch the cells evolve.
