|
Conway's Game of Life and many other types of cellular automata.
|
|
|
|
Golly's key features:
|
|
|
|
Supports bounded and unbounded universes, with cells of up to 256
|
|
states. Supports multiple algorithms, including Bill Gosper's super
|
|
fast hashlife algorithm. Many different types of CA are included: John
|
|
von Neumann's 29-state CA, Wolfram's 1D rules, WireWorld, Generations,
|
|
Paterson's Worms, Larger than Life, etc. The RuleLoader algorithm lets
|
|
you plug in new rules. Responsive even while generating or garbage
|
|
collecting. Reads RLE, macrocell, Life 1.05/1.06, dblife, and MCell
|
|
files. Can also read common graphic formats: BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF. Can
|
|
extract patterns, rules and scripts from zip files. Can download
|
|
patterns, rules and scripts from online archives. Includes a
|
|
state-of-the-art pattern collection. Can paste in patterns from the
|
|
clipboard. Unlimited undo/redo. Configurable keyboard shortcuts. Auto
|
|
fit option keeps patterns sized to the window. Full screen option (no
|
|
menu/status/tool/scroll bars). Supports multiple layers, including
|
|
cloned layers. HTML-based help with an integrated Life Lexicon.
|
