Summary: Exploring Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata
Description:
Welcome to Golly, a sophisticated tool for exploring Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata. - Unbounded universe (limited only by memory). - Fast, memory-efficient conventional algorithm. - Use hashing to see large patterns evolve at huge time scales. - Responsive even while generating or garbage collecting. - Reads RLE, Life 1.05/1.06, dblife, and macrocell formats. - Can also read common graphic formats: BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF. - Includes a state-of-the-art pattern collection. - Supports other Life-like rules and Wolfram's 1D rules. - Fast loading of large patterns. - Paste in patterns from the clipboard. - Unlimited undo/redo. - Unbounded zooming out for astronomical patterns. - Auto fit option keeps a generating pattern within view. - Full screen option (no menu/status/tool/scroll bars). - Supports multiple layers, including cloned layers. - HTML-based help with integrated Life Lexicon. - Scriptable via Perl or Python. - User-configurable keyboard shortcuts. - Free, open source and cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). - We also provide bgolly, a GUI-less version.
