vlife

[shouldsee]

Dear life enthusiasts, here is a 3-state vonNeumann rule that exhibit life-like behavior.

Please tell me what you think. Does this look like life enough? Or is there anything particular missing here?

Code: Select all

Is there anything particular missing here?

As opposed to life, there seems to be no natural gliders.

Yeah that's an aching point. I will try to modify it to allow glider at some point.

Made some modification, and obtained vlife that supports glider. Many close related rules have gliders as well. Some don't support still life. Some even support diagonal glider

I sense that there might be a gun:
