About This Simulation

This is Conway's Game of Life with a few messy extras added for fun.

  • Classic life rules: cells are born, survive, or die based on neighbours.
  • Mutation: turn it up to inject extra chaos into the board.
  • Presets: quickly seed known patterns or total soup.
  • Nuke It: because sometimes the correct scientific answer is “worse”.
