LivingCells is an engaging application that delves into the intriguing world of cellular automata, providing a virtual playground where users can explore and interact with complex cellular systems. It is designed to simulate diverse automata types, including the classic Life by John Conway, its vibrant colored variant, the Generations family featuring Brian's Brain, and the Turmites group, highlighted by Langton's ant.
The application is unique in that it does not operate as a traditional game. There is no need to input regular game actions. Instead, users have the opportunity to influence the behavior of the cells. This is achieved through setting and modifying rules, initiating new cells, or maneuvering groups of existing cells across the interactive field. This dynamic setup makes the app not just visually appealing, but intellectually stimulating as well.
Key features of this app include:
- A selection of four main types of cellular automata to experiment with.
- Customization options that allow users to define and input personal rules for each automata type.
- An interactive cellular field where users can create, delete, or drag and drop cells. Easily switch between these functions with a long press.
- The ability to pause the simulation, a feature which is now adjustable to suit user preferences.
- Aesthetic customization is also a highlight, offering preinstalled themes or the freedom to create a distinctive look.
Furthermore, the app offers the innovative functionality to use the simulation as a live wallpaper, bringing your device’s background to life with evolving patterns.
For those interested in science, patterns, or simulations, LivingCells provides a visually and intellectually engaging experience that goes beyond simple entertainment. It's an excellent tool for anyone fascinated by the automation and patterns of life-like systems.
