Title: Conway's game of life.

Published: Nov 14, 2024

p5.js

I would like to start this post by giving thanks to the p5.js library for making this possible as well as the p5-svelte API for making p5.js work with svelte to be very simple with the least hastle I’ve has with any other 3d / graphics in Javascript.

What is Conways game of life?

Conways game of life or just ‘life’ is a cellular automaton that is a zero player game / simulation. The simulation consists of a grid containing “cells” - these cells can be in one of two states: ‘alive’ or ‘dead’, these cells are then subjected to 3 rules that define the whole game:

Any 'alive' cell with less than two neighbours dies.
Any 'alive' cell with two or three neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any 'alive' cell with more than three live neighbours dies.
Any 'dead' cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes an 'alive' cell.
