Talk:Conway's Game of Life

From Academic Kids

Re the ref: I linked to a webpage about Life32... Perhaps the source should in fact be Life32 itself. I'm sure it's OK but needs to be made clear. Bookgirl 12:56, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The page you linked (http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html) does not seem to mention Life32 at all. (Perhaps you put the wrong link in by mistake?) Anyway, I've changed it to point to the main download page for Life32 (http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/Life32.html). --Zundark 13:06, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Ah, yes. I went to the same Life32 download page and got the link from this part: "Life32 is a player for Conway's game of life and related cellular automa. If that does not ring a bell, look here". What I linked to was the 'here'. There was a logic there (sort of). Your solution better, tho. :-) Bookgirl 13:20, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

R-pentomino?

In this article there is written about a "R-pentomino", yet in the article on pentomino's there is not mentioned a such pentomino.

True. It should have said "R-shaped F-pentomino". I've fixed it. - UtherSRG 18:19, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
In Life it's always called the R-pentomino, because that's what Conway called it. I've reworded it. (Also, the anonymous poster above is incorrect in saying that there is no mention of "R-penomino" in the pentomino article. There is such a mention, added by Maury Markowitz more than a year ago.) --Zundark, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

positional variations and local connectivity variations

all the variations in the life family considers the _number_ of neighboring cells. Where can one read about 2d CA that considers the position of neighbors, besides number? Also, there is zero info on life with different grids. (i.e. triangular, hexagonal, or any tilings/network) Thanks. Xah Lee 00:44, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

Such CA wouldn't be life-like, and don't really deserve a place in this article. Perhaps you would be better off requesting some references for such games in the Cellular automaton article, or better yet creating a List of cellular automata. 192.152.5.250 16:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
