Life-Like Cellular Automaton Explorer (2D)

Interactive 2D life-like cellular automaton explorer: switch between Conway, HighLife, Seeds and Day & Night birth/survival rules on a toroidal grid and watch each generation's cell count and pattern evolve live.

AI & Machine Learning2DEasy60 FPS📱 Mobile-adapted⇄ 3D version

This 2D companion reimplements the same life-like cellular automaton mechanic as the 3D voxel-history version as a flat, editable grid: pick a rule set (Conway, HighLife, Seeds or Day & Night), seed it randomly or draw your own starting pattern by clicking and dragging, then watch generations tick forward on a wrapped toroidal grid while the live readout tracks generation count and population in real time. Switching rule sets resets the grid and shows just how differently the same neighbor-counting logic can behave once the two birth/survival numbers change.
