3D Computer Game of Life

The standard by which most computer languages are measured by the simplest of functions, “Hello World”.

In the 1960’s a mathematician name John Horton Conway devised a computer simulation to mimic the essence of Life.  Three simple rules control the health or demise of each ‘cell’.

As the power and capabilities of modern computers grew, this became another staple of software comparison.

DXStudio provides incredible tools to create any 3D world.  This version of Life takes the simple rules and extends them  into the 3rd dimension.

Life takes place on a grid.  Each cell is evaluated to live or die by these three simple rules:

  • If a cell has one or no living neighbours, it will die of loneliness
  • If it has too many neighbours – four or more – it will die from overcrowding
  • New cells are “born” whenever an empty square has exactly three living neighbors
