Game of Life!

LOL
you can say the same for Bplus!

We must be a Memory game to power up the memory...
No that with letters! ;-)

Right-O! LOL I missed it too!

Beautiful! BTW, Why it is called Game of Life? Is it related to life?

It supposedly mimics bacteria in a Petri dish.

Google: John Horton Conway's Game of Life. It is life on a most elemental level, life or death on a 2D grid of cells (0 = dead, Not 0 = alive)

Each cell (except along edges) has 8 neighbors, a cell survives to next generation (next view of board) if it has 2 or 3 neighbors, any more or less, it dies. A birth occurs to a cell with 2 neighbors. With that simple set of rules you watch some seed screen develop through generations until all dies or stabilizes or continues to expand...

These rules provide an asymmetric progression that can't be reversed uniquely, ie you can't take the current state of the board and predict what the previous state was.

Why is it called a Game? Maybe because of the rules and each turn is determined by the rules. This code has been played with since the 70's and Wolfram tried to create a new math or science from it.

This has been around for a long time. Since 1970. Read the wiki

but it runs on a single plane for make the work easy ...
I'm imagining a game with 3 layer/planes and all the same rules except to control  neighbours, and neighbours are  all 24 cells around the cell tested...

Sure, 3D life, then on to 4D

4D...

What exactly is 4D?  I was always taught that the 4th dimension was TIME.

X, Z, Y, T --- X,Y,Z represents an object's location in space, while T represents the time it was in that location.  A book might be 3 inches from the right side of a bookshelf, 12 inches from the top of said bookshelf, and 2 inches deep into that same bookshelf, at 12:23:37 PM, but not there the next second as someone took it from the shelf.

If time isn't the 4th dimension, what is?

Hi Jack
here there are the entities of the plane 2D developed in the running time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life#Examples_of_patterns

well it has been founded recurrent patterns...
it'll be also in 3D... or someone have already done this?

About the forth dimension... it is an old old idea with strong math basis... but we live in an older past with our limited minds!
see here when 4D universe (iperspazio) had been thought with math basis! :-)

Well I wonder if anyone like me will suggest hexagon Life. :)

Assuming a four-dimensional being were able to "see" his world in projections to a hypersurface, also just one dimension less, i.e., to three dimensions, it would be able to "see", e.g., all six sides of an opaque box simultaneously, and in fact, what is inside the box at the same time,

okay SuperMan.

Steve, looks like I stirred the pot, then left :-D
I think you're right, the 4th dimention is time.





The 5th dimention is a singing group

@Cobalt

no SuperMan but man with different glasses...those had been built when many of today innovations were unreal...
it seems all logic and math perspectives, not yet used today except for very small part of engeneering

To understand the nature of four-dimensional space, a device called dimensional analogy is commonly employed. Dimensional analogy is the study of how (n − 1) dimensions relate to n dimensions, and then inferring how n dimensions would relate to (n + 1) dimensions

As a three-dimensional object passes through a two-dimensional plane, two-dimensional beings in this plane would only observe a cross-section of the three-dimensional object within this plane. For example, if a spherical balloon passed through a sheet of paper, beings in the paper would see first a single point, then a circle gradually growing larger, until it reaches the diameter of the balloon, and then getting smaller again, until it shrank to a point and then disappeared. Similarly, if a four-dimensional object passed through a three dimensional (hyper)surface, one could observe a three-dimensional cross-section of the four-dimensional object—for example, a 4-sphere would appear first as a point, then as a growing sphere, with the sphere then shrinking to a single point and then disappearing

and if you want see images look here http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/math/4D/welcome.html

LOL what do you feel thinking of a programming language using as basis the quaternions?
I'll vote for QB64_4D development!

(Basically everything in that document is about geometry in N dimensions. Look for Minkowski space if you want time as the fourth dimension, but this is just a special case.)
