Guest Wall Bird Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This may be the craziest shit I've ever seen: [youtubehd]xP5-iIeKXE8[/youtubehd] Also, "Life" with floating point values: [youtubehd]KJe9H6qS82I[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Funny how such a simple set of rules can lead to something which resembles "life". The next one begins a bit of info about the set of rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamos scorcho Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 pretty awesome. Life is always something I find great but i don't want to learn anything past the basic rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 because math thx for posting, especially enjoyed that SmoothLife version! anybody have a link to Kanye's Game of Life? pretty sure it's a watmmer's creation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Oh, wow. Nice vid. Game of Life is also Turing complete so you could basically do any program that you could do with ordinary programming languages also with it. Well, disregarding the I/O but in a computational and algorithmic point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanyo Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I really want to know how long it would take to get things like this to form on their own. I wonder if a large grid could be built with independently operating cells (not operating on the processor of a computer controlling all cells), so that each cell would be able to change extremely fast, and one could get through billions upon billions of turns and see what happened. You could also do crazy stuff with rulesets if each one had its own rules or changing rules or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanyo Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I wonder how long you'd have to have it going and on how large a scale before things actually became life-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Dear God, that is a beautiful video. I've been fascinated by Conway's GoL for years, but this is a whole new level of amazement. It really opens your mind to the recursive, endlessly growing nature of the universe, and shit. Ever tried watching the Game of Life while listening to VI Scose Poise by Autechre? It's pretty lucid.
