where art meets design
Game of Life
Categories: flash

I have been reading about generative art and building projects inspired by the Game of Life. After demonstrating it for my students, one expressed interest in combining it into his project so that left me inspired to work the code into a different form. Using the fantastic post about this topic by Justin Windle, I am building my own Flash adaptation. The artwork needs work but instead of having the cells just show colors of alive and dead, I want to use animated movieclips. So far, the artwork is mostly placeholder but it does provide proof of concept. Source code coming soon when I get it cleaned up a bit.
