Description

Apple Pi 'Life' is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life for the Apple II. The player draws patterns using the paddles and watches them evolve using the usual rules:

  • Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
  • Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  • Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
  • Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

The game allows for a grid size between 8x8 and 40x40 cells and an update speed between 25 and 140 generations per minute.
