Cellular automata (CA) can be thought of as mini-universes. The universe starts at some initial state and evolves according to a simple local rule. Conway's Game of Life is by far the best known CA. Lifemaker includes Conway's Life along with sixteen other rules. Unlike most Life programs LifeMaker uses color, allows you to change the size of the "universe", and lets you create your own rules.</p> <p><b>Basics of CA</b></p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-compatibility"> <div class="field-label">Compatibility:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Requires 32 Bit QuickDraw and runs fastest with the monitor set to 256 colors.</p> </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-category-app"> <div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Novelties &amp; Fun </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-author"> <div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Jesse Jones </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-system"> <div class="field-label">System:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> System 6.x </div> <div class="field-item even"> System 7.0 - 7.6 </div> <div class="field-item odd"> Mac OS 8 - 8.1 </div> <div class="field-item even"> Mac OS 9 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-architecture"> <div class="field-label">Architecture:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 68k </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/life-maker" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/life-maker#comments Novelties & Fun Jesse Jones Mon, 10 May 2010 09:22:06 +0000 Bolkonskij 2876 at http://macintoshgarden.org
