The Game of Life is a cellular automaton that replicates the survival and death of populations based on predefined rules. John Conway, a mathematician at Princeton University, released the Game of Life in 1970. The Game of Life is an unpredictable simulation. When a portion of a board setup achieves symmetry the symmetry is maintained unless the formation merges with another. The symmetry can increase and become very complicated. The game operates on a two dimensional grid and cells live or die
Cellular automata A Cellular Automata can be viewed as an autonomous Finite State Machine[FSM] consisting of a number of cells. A Cellular Automaton consists of a regular grid of cells, each as a finite number of states such as On and Off.An initial state [time t=0] is selected by assigning a state for each cell. The rule for updating the state of cells is the same for each cell and does not change over time. Cellular Automata can also be viewed as a simple model of a spatially extended decentralized
For example, he says “I find people confusing. This is for two main reasons. The first main reason is that people do a lot of talking without using any words.” (14) To us, things like facial expressions are part of everyday life, and we automatically understand them, but to Christopher, they are like the bottom of the ocean - deep, dark and unknown. He also shows us that he doesn’t understand emotions when, on page one hundred and twenty, Christopher and his father are having
