Soorya Annadurai · 2021
Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player game played on an infinite square grid, where each cell can be in either of two binary states. The interesting aspect of this game arises when we observe how each cell of this grid interacts with its neighbors over time. There has been much public interest in this game, and several variants have become popular. Similar Games of Life can exist on hexagonal, triangular, and other tiled grids. Games of Life have also been devised in 3 dimensions. In this work, a novel Game of Life is proposed on a Pythagorean tessellation with a unique set of rules, which imitates the reality of Life more accurately. Several interesting life forms in this universe are also illustrated.
