Game of Life

Dive into an interactive cellular automaton simulation where you can experiment with life, death, and chaos.

Original Rules of the Game of Life

The game is based on the following simple yet fascinating rules:

1. Survival: A live cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives.
2. Birth: A dead cell with exactly 3 neighbors becomes alive.
3. Death: All other live cells die due to overpopulation or loneliness.

These simple rules create complex, beautiful patterns that you can watch unfold.

Enhanced Gameplay Features

But Coway is more than just the classic simulation! Add excitement to your grid with these unique toggles:

1. Explosion Mode
   • Trigger explosions that wipe out cells in a square radius. Watch as life is decimated and rebounds in new patterns!
2. Laser Mode
   • Fire powerful lasers in straight lines across the grid, eliminating all cells in their path. Clear rows or columns with surgical precision!
3. Pandemic Mode
   • Infect a single cell and watch the infection spread to adjacent cells. Beware: infected cells will die after 3 cycles, adding a layer of urgency to your survival strategy.

Interactive Drawing Tool

Unleash your creativity with the drawing tool!

• Add life to the board by drawing cells anywhere you like. Experiment with new shapes and see how they evolve over time.
