"Chewing Gum" - A Game of Life Variation
-- Description --
Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton created by the mathematician John Conway.
A great example of emergence, I intended to implement a version of the Game of Life that went beyond the classic 0 and 1 cell representation. I created a class Cell with several properties that affect the behavior of the cell and introduce sound generation, creating an audio-visual version of the Game of Life. A "bubble gum" grows the longer a still life pattern remains, adding a different sense of "living" through time.
The basic implementation of the game is based on this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWSR_7kZuYg) tutorial by Dan Shiffman.
-- Instructions --
You can add cells by clicking anywhere on the screen (except for the footer of course). You control the game using the Start&Stop and Clear&Reset buttons.
