Conway's Game of Life quickly became a sensation, inspiring a cult following among mathematicians and programmers.
Seed shapes are born, live, reproduce, and die. In the process, fascinating animated patterns and "social" interactions occur on the computer screen. Beginning with a seed created by the user, a mesmerizing drama unfolds. Sometimes these living worlds expire in a moments, seconds, or minutes; others continue for eternity.
Research into Conway's game is ongoing and extensive. Could life itself be this simple? Why not?
