A downloadable game for Windows

ABOUT THIS GAME

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. The core of the game is a grid of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form various patterns throughout the course of the game.

THE MECHANICS

The main core of the game is based on the John Conway model, but there are some differences in the initial state of the game. The player is able to define the initial rules for the cells as well as their appearance.

Hey there! I’ve just installed this game on my laptop and it seems to be lagging/freezing for some odd reason. The music and clicking sound is playing, however the “Quick help” window isn’t closing when I tap “Close window” (or “Quit game”).

None of the buttons (play/pause, rule designer, etc.) aren’t responsive when I click. Whenever I click my left mouse button in the window, I hear a “ping” noise.

Hi EdThePro.
First of all, many thanks for feedback, and  sorry for your inconvenience. The game after it start generates grid of cells, so it's quite demanding on the start. That's the problem, I bet. I will try to dust off my old laptop with similar hardware and check it out. Cheers!

[Edit]

Unfortunately this version won't be running on Intel HD graphics. I'll fix this with the next version. Cheers!

Hi EdThePro, please try "YetAnotherGameOfLife-windows32-LowEndPlatforms.zip" version. It should be compatible with older platforms. It is stripped of a few visuals effects tho. Let me know, if this help. Thanks in advance. Cheers!
