LifeViewer is a scriptable pattern viewer and editor used to simulate Life and other Life-like cellular automata.
LifeViewer supports:
- Totalistic Life-like cellular automata
- Non-totalistic Life-like cellular automata
- 1D totalistic cellular automata
- Larger than Life (LtL) rules
- Higher-range outer-totalistic (HROT) rules
- Generations rules
- Alternating rules
- MAP rules
- [R]History rules
- 2-state Margolus rules
- Partitioned cellular automata (PCA) rules
- [RuleTable] rules (@TREE and @COLORS sections) from a remote repository
Depending on the rule family it supports Moore, hexagonal, von Neumann, triangular, Circular and Margolus neighbourhoods and also bounded grids.
LifeViewer features:
- Smooth non-integer zoom and rotation.
- Colour themes with cell history and longevity.
- Square, hexagonal and triangular grid displays.
- Pseudo 3D layers and stars.
- Multiple ways to automatically track patterns with the camera as they evolve.
- Script language that allows many features to be customized including Waypoint animations.
- Support for multiple embedded LifeViewers and/or a single popup LifeViewer.
- Ability to step back to earlier generations for all patterns and reverse playback for reversible Margolus and PCA patterns.
- Random pattern and rule generation.
- Pattern annotation with Labels, Arrows, Lines and Polygons.
- Programatically pasting cells onto the grid at defined intervals (for example: glider injection).
- Identification of oscillator and spaceship periods.
- Automatic scaling for high DPI displays including smartphones and tablets.
- Editor with unlimitied undo/redo and multiple clipboards.
