Conway's Game of Life in your dock

Website

Description

Wmlife is a dock app running Conway's Game of Life (and program

launcher). Life is played on a grid of square cells where a cell can

be either live or dead. In the rules, you count the number of live

neighbours for each cell to determine whether a cell lives or dies;

Birth: dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell.

Survival: a live cell with two or three live neighbours stays alive.

Overcrowding / Loneliness: in all other cases, a cell dies or remains

dead.

Normally Life is implemented on an infinite board but due to size

restraints wmlife implements the grid as a torus. In a torus,

the grid wraps at the edges from top to bottom and left to right.
