Project 3 – Conway’s Game of Life
vA kind of cellular
automaton
vProposed by the
mathematician John Conway in 1970.
vComplex behavior
emerges from simple rules.
vThe Game of Life
itself is not a realistic simulation of any actual phenomenon
vHowever, researchers
have used cellular automata to model the spread of weeds, fire, urban
sprawl, and other phenomena
