Just for a bit of fun I came up with this simple implementation of Conway’s Game of Life.

I have added a bit of spice by giving a bunch of parameters which you can tweak. Settings are :

• Colour of Live cells
• Colour of Dead cells
• Speed
• Alpha. 1 = solid, 0 = transparent.
• Cell Size
• Border Size ( 0 = no border between cells )
• Canvas width ( number of horizontal pixels within the canvas ). Canvas physical width is 480
• Canvas Height ( number of vertical pixels within the canvas ). Canvas physical height is 480.

The Refresh button with restart the simulation with a randomly populated screen using the given settings.

The other five buttons are preset settings that I have given as examples of the sort of things you can achieve by tweaking the settings.

Enjoy!
