- What are the rules? How do cells evolve?
- Conway's Game of Life has 4 simple rules: a live cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives; otherwise it dies. A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes to life. These simple rules alone produce extraordinarily complex evolving patterns.
- What are some famous interesting patterns?
- Classic patterns include the 'glider' (a small pattern that moves across the board), the 'glider gun' (which continuously produces gliders), and 'oscillators' (patterns that cycle periodically). You can draw any initial pattern on the grid and watch how it evolves.
- How many levels or difficulty tiers does Game of Life offer?
- Typically three tiers (easy, medium, hard), plus procedurally generated puzzles in some cases. Even replaying the same difficulty can produce a completely different layout.
