Golly is an open source cross-platform application for exploring
Conway's Game of Life and many other types of cellular
automata.
Key features:
Supports bounded and unbounded universes with cells of up to 256 states.
Supports multiple algorithms including Bill Gosper's super fast hashlife algorithm.
Many different types of CA are included: John von Neumann's 29-state CA Wolfram's 1D rules WireWorld Generations Langton's Loops Paterson's Worms etc.
Reads RLE macrocell Life 1.05/1.06 dblife and MCell files.
Can extract patterns and rules from zip files.
Can download patterns and rules from online archives.
Includes a state-of-the-art pattern collection.
Unlimited undo/redo.
Extensive help with an integrated Life Lexicon.
