Not a game but you can play around with different configurations.
Switching between configurations can create some interesting patterns.
Especially the ‘labyrinth’ was new to me, ‘copy world’ looks cool if you start with few cells.

space=pause (important for editing cells)

Doesn’t work here.
It says it needs more RAM and it says I need to blame my browser.
WinXP, Java 1.6.0_13, Opera 9.24

This is strange, I just checked it with -Xmx40m and it works fine.
It should work with the default 64m, after loading the game, 22.2m are used.
Maybe more RAM is temporarily needed, but it should really work with 64m.
And the applet had the 64m in your case (I log it)

Did you disallow applets to grab more RAM (than 64m) with applet tags by hand or is that a standard feature of Opera?

#4

Very nice. Where’d you find the alternative cellular automata rules?

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conways_Spiel_des_Lebens (scroll down)
Don’t know why they are not listed in the english version.

Could you pleeeease :slight_smile: run my benchmark? (I guess you are the one with the i7)

#6

It worked after restarting the browser.
Nice looking version of game of life.

#7

thanks! this time you had 25m more free ram, I will add a tag to restart the vm each time.

Vista64, i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz. Seems slower than yours.

Because the English version has a separate page for them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-like_cellular_automata

Didn’t work in Chrome, but the labyrinth rules look very cool in IE.
