Cubic Life

Overview

Cubic Life is a powerful cellular automaton engine designed to simulate Conway's Game of Life in three dimension. This engine provides a flexible framework for running and visualizing complex cellular automata simulations in a 3D environment.

Rules

  • A live cell that has live neighbors below 5 or above 6 dies.
  • A dead cell that has 4 live neighbors becomes a live cell.

Features

  • Infinite Grid: No grid size limitation.
  • Conway's Game of Life: CAEngine is specifically designed to run Conway's Game of Life, a classic cellular automaton with simple rules but complex emergent behavior.
  • 3D Simulation: Unlike traditional implementations which are 2D, CAEngine operates in a three-dimensional space, allowing for more intricate patterns and interactions.
  • Flexible Architecture: The engine is built with a modular architecture, making it easy to extend and customize for different cellular automaton rules and behaviors.
  • Visualization: CAEngine includes built-in visualization tools to observe the evolution of the cellular automaton in real-time, providing insights into the emergent patterns and dynamics.
  • Configurability: Users can adjust various parameters such as initial configurations, and simulation speed to tailor the behavior of the cellular automaton to their specific needs.
  • Cross-Platform: CAEngine is designed to be cross-platform, ensuring compatibility with various operating systems.
