Conway's Game of Life

This is a web app I wrote years ago of Conway’s Game of Life. Kinda cool as the app loads all of it’s code from a GitHub Gist. Thus can run from a server or can just save Game-of-Life HTML page into a file on your computer - extension .html. Double-click and the game will start.

For JavaScript fans; the Gist is at PotOfCoffee2Go/_automaton.md has all the javaScript, CSS, and HTML code.

To open a wiki of the game go to https://wikis.poc2go.net/Game-of-Life.

Loading is done from a Raspberry Pi Zero on a sub-net of my home network - so loading is not the fastest on the planet - please be patient :wink:

enjoy!

Way back in 2008, I wrote a TiddlyWiki-native version of Conway’s Game of Life.
It only works in TiddlyWiki Classic (TW2.x).
Check it out, here: https://tiddlytools.com/Classic/#TiddlyLifePlugin

I’ve considered re-writing it for TW5, but I always seem to be too busy with other projects…

enjoy,

Hi @EricShulman

Way too many years ago; I stumbled upon your TiddlyWiki site, which is as impressive today as it was back then.

It demostrated the true power of TiddlyWiki - back then was revolutionary. Because of your conributions to TiddlyWiki, I became addicted to using TiddlyWiki as my most favorite client-side frontend.

Looking forward to checking out your version of Conway’s Game of Life.
