Each box follows a set of rules depending on its color. Despite seemingly simple rules, extraordinary machines have been built within cellular automata systems. Celluverse currently contains two popular rule sets: 1. Conway's Game of Life.Game of Life is a sort of simplified biological cell simulator. Every cell in Life is either "alive" or "dead". There are 3 rules for these cells. - Living cells die by loneliness if there are 1 or less living neighbors. - Living cells die by overcrowding if there are 4 or more living neighbors - Dead cells come to life if there are exactly 3 living neighbors From these simple rules emerge great complexity. Full computers have been built within the Game of Life 2. WireworldWireworld is a simplified electronic simulator, which is convenient for designing digital circuits. Every cell is one of 4 states: (empty, electron head, electron tail, or wire). Electrons flow through conductors in the direction of the electron head. There are 3 rules again: - The electron head turns into a tail - The tail turns into a wire - A wire becomes an electron head only if there are exactly 1 or 2 nearby electron heads. 3. Your own rules?An upcoming version of the game will support creating your own rules, to build your own universe and explore the possibilities. == Controls ==Click to place, scroll to zoom, right click to pan.
