I just spent the last two hours coding a simulation of Conway’s Game Of Life in Roblox!

For those unaware, “Life” is a simple zero-player game where you arrange patterns on a grid where every square will follow four basic rules every cycle. This follows the concept of neighbours, which are all eight adjacent cells.

A cycle is considered an “evolution”.

The four basic rules are

  • If there are less than 2 neighbours, the square “dies”
  • If there are 2 or 3 neighbours, the square remains alive
  • If there is exactly 3 neighbours, a dead square will become alive
  • If there are more than 3 neighbours, the square will die

You can check it out here!

I also made it open-source so you can go ahead and roast my terrible code.

Simple patterns turn into many complex ones. Always had a fad inaction with this game, great job!

This is such a coincidence, not even joking a couple months back someone said I should make Conway’s Game of Life in roblox, if only I could tell them, oh well, nice creation!
