This month our theme is cellular automata! (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/CellularAutomaton.html)

Rules

  1. Build a game that makes use of cellular automata
  2. Have fun

What are cellular automata?

  1. Your world is split into a 2D or 3D grid
  2. Each cell within that grid is a single cell
  3. On each game tick the state of a cell is updated based on your rule set

John Conway's game of life has the following rule set:

  1. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours survives.
  2. Any dead cell with three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
  3. All other live cells die in the next generation. Similarly, all other dead cells stay dead.

Which can create behaviour like this:


You can also do things like simulating gravity on falling sand. No other cell beneath this one? => Fall down!
