LifeViewer is a scriptable pattern viewer and editor used to simulate Life and a wide range of other 1D and 2D cellular automata.
If you want to use LifeViewer on your own site then the latest release can be downloaded here.
Rule support:
- 2-state Margolus rules.
- 2-state Outer-totalistic Life-like cellular automata (from ranges 1 to 500, including Larger than Life).
- 2-state Isotropic non-totalistic Life-like cellular automata (for range-1 Moore and range-1 hexagonal).
- 2-state Non-isotropic Life-like cellular automata (for range-1 Moore, hexagonal and von Neumann).
- Generations rules (as an extension of the outer-totalistic, non-totalistic and non-isotropic rulespaces).
- Alternating rules.
- Partitioned cellular automata (PCA) rules.
- Weighted rules.
- Elementary cellular automata (even numbers only).
- [R]History rules.
- RuleTable rules from a repository.
Grid and neighbourhood support:
- square grid:
- outer-totalistic:
- Moore
- von Neumann
- circular
- cross
- L2
- saltire
- star
- checkerboard
- hash
- custom (CoordCA)
- non-totalistic
- non-isotropic
- Margolus
- PCA
- outer-totalistic:
- hexagonal or offset-square grid:
- outer totalistic:
- hexagonal
- tripod
- asterisk
- custom (CoordCA)
- non-totalistic
- non-isotropic
- outer totalistic:
- triangular grid:
- outer totalistic:
- triangular Moore
- triangular edges
- triangular vertices
- triangular inner
- triangular outer
- custom (CoordCA)
- outer totalistic:
Bounded grid types:
- Plane
- Cylinder (with optional shift)
- Torus (with optional shift)
- Klein-bottle (with optional shift)
- Cross-surface
- Sphere
For range 2+ neighbourhoods only Plane, and Torus (without shift) are supported.
Native support for BSFKL, Extended Generations and deficient rules is also planned.[1][2][3] Support for 1D totalistic rules may also be planned.[4]
LifeViewer features:
- Smooth non-integer zoom with anti-aliasing and rotation.
- Colour themes with cell history and longevity.
- 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).
