The Game of Life, also known as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [1] It is a zero-player game, [2] [3] meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial ...
LifeWiki's homepage. LifeWiki is a wiki dedicated to Conway's Game of Life. [1] [2] It hosts over 2000 articles on the subject [3] and a large collection of Life patterns stored in a format based on run-length encoding [4] that it uses to interoperate with other Life software such as Golly.
3D Life is a three-dimensional extension and exploration in the variants of Conway's Game of Life. It was first discovered Carter Bays. It was first discovered Carter Bays. A number of different semitotalistic rules for the 3D rectangular Moore neighborhood were investigated.

Eric S. Raymond has proposed the glider as an emblem to represent the hacker subculture, as the Game of Life appeals to hackers, and the concept of the glider was "born at almost the same time as the Internet and Unix". [7] The emblem is in use in various places within the subculture. [8] [9]
R-pentomino to stability in 1103 generations. In Conway's Game of Life, one of the smallest methuselahs is the R-pentomino, [2] a pattern of five cells first considered by Conway himself, [3] that takes 1103 generations before stabilizing with 116 cells.
In Conway's Game of Life, oscillators had been identified and named as early as 1971. [1] Since then it has been shown that finite oscillators exist for all periods. [2] [3] [4] Additionally, until July 2022, the only known examples for period 34 were considered trivial because they consisted of essentially separate components that oscillate at smaller periods.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to collapsed, meaning that it is hidden apart from its title bar. To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Conway's Game of Life | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
