--CONWAY'S GAME OF LIFE IN SCRATCH-- Draw something random and press space to watch it evolve... in a mathematical kind of way... What is happening? Each square on the grid is called a "cell". A cell is either alive (filled in) or dead (white) Each cell has rules that it follows each "tick" of time. The rules are: 1. If a live cell has 2 or 3 neighboring live cells, the cell will continue to live. 2. If a dead cell has exactly 3 neighboring live cells, it will become a live cell. 3. Any other live cells will die. A neighbor cell is a cell that is one square adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally from the target cell. If you want to know more, here's the wikipedia article: wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life Hey scratchers! I know it's certainly been awhile since I've done anything here... over a year in fact. However, I have been coming back to the website and reading all the comments I've been getting and the loves and favorites and follows, and honestly I'm quite flattered. I can't say if I'll really be as active here as i used to... but I do have at least one more major project on the line up. Thank all of you for all the support, please enjoy this simple demonstration of something I found interesting while I work on larger, more important projects. --CHANGE LOG-- 4/7/23 - Improved "getNeighbors" function. 5/3/20 - Released.
