Living Cells

Cellular Automata Collection

This is a collection of cellular automata - fields of cells which live by certain rules. At this point Living Cells is able to simulate not only the famous Life by John Conway, but also its colored variant, a family of cellular automata called Generations, which includes widely known Brian's Brain, and also Turmites family, the best-known example of which is Langton's ant.

This is not a game per se because it doesn't require any input from the player. But it is possible to affect how cells live by adjusting rules, creating new cells, or dragging groups of existing ones.

Features:

- Four types of cellular automata

- Possibility to set a rule for each type and also to enter your own rules

- Interactive field allowing to create and erase cells or to drag existing cells. Switch between adding and erasing with a longpress. Simulation pauses by default, but this is now adjustable

- Customizable look and feel for the cells: either select one of the preinstalled themes or create your own

- Application can be used as a live wallpaper
