Check out the new HLFF Blog article by Katie Steckles, where she explores the fascinating Game of Life and how cells behave within it, governed by particular rules.


This week at the HLFF Blog, Katie Steckles takes a look at the mathematical Game of Life (not to be confused with the board game of a similar name). In it, cells on a grid behave according to a set of rules in which the cells are either considered ‘alive’ or ‘dead’ at any given point in time. With each subsequent time step, the cells’ state changes based on predetermined factors of their proximity to other cells and their states. Katie demonstrates the extraordinary malleability of this game, and how with certain permutations it can have the cells seemingly mimic behavior or real-life organisms and create chains of actions that loop together infinitely.
