What i found very nice is graphs of the population size through generations of metuselah's, with my favorite being the R-pentomino http://www.conwaylife.com/wik

- xa 16y agoMonitoring population size through generations in Conway's Game of Life was the premise of my state science fair project. I ended up going further and changing the rule parameters to see which were the most optimal ones, but if you want to see the population vs. generation graphs for the original rules, here they are: 12 pentominoes: http://i.imgur.com/wrO3o.png http://i.imgur.com/wrO3o.png Population over 50 generations graph: http://i.imgur.com/TIRgK.png http://i.imgur.com/TIRgK.png
- nitrogen 16y agoThanks for the fascinating link. I never knew how much effort had been spent categorizing the various emergent phenomena in the game of life.
