About Conway's Game of Life
The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
Touch the screen to bring cells to life and observe how they participate in the game of Life.
You can also randomly fill the canvas with cells and see how the story pans out.
You can also change the rules of the game and see how life reacts.
From this v1.2 onwards, the source is available as a repository on GitHub, so that anyone who is interested can view and modify the code to create an even better performing and prettier looking game. The link to the aforementioned repository is https://github.com/nighthawkOne/ConwaysGameOfLife
Changes in v1.15
- Fixed bug in touch gestures arising from differences in the way different screens report size of touched area.
Changes in v1.1
- Added tips dialog for an easy introduction to using the app.
- Added new settings activity using swiped tabs and fragments.
- New settings such as 'anti-alias'.
- Fixed bug in random fill.
- Settings changes are persistent between sessions, with an option to revert to default settings.
- Better swiping with two different types of swipe trails, settable in settings menu.

I wish I could zoom in an hour. It would allow for easier shape building.

I made an ever changing maze with b.3 and s.2.3.4

the game broke! I could not watch any ads or start a new game. (Request) Please make it so you can add your own boxes!

Problems with touch, though, my phone works fine with everything else.

Nice aesthetics. Lock/unlock toggle would be more intuitive as a 3-way move/draw/erase toggle. I like the continuous board. A better icon wouldn't hurt. Good version of the game.

I wish I could zoom easier to paint specific shapes easier and I found a glitch if you change the rule to S. 8. And B. 3,4,5, 8 random total extinction some times occurs and it looks like its for no reason.

Does not all for any permissions. Though it'll help if the game allows to construct gliders or trains by filling specific pixels

Plus features I didn't even know I would want like random fill!

I can't place dots where I want them. Frequentlyy the game places the dots slightly off from where I click and with no undo or erase option, I can't create glider guns or any other cool designs.

Very cool! I wrote a version of this "game" for an Intel 8080 microprocessor back in 1975.

Great to see this famous cellular automaton crafted into an easy-to-use and aesthetic app. The extra 'settings' are a treat. Am also glad to see no 'permissions' are required. Great work!

Too bad it crashes all the time. I'd give it five stars if bugs were fixed and either the settings menu was more user friendly (there's really no point in having lots of different settings screens with one or two settings on each! - why not combine them into one screen?), or at least the changing of survival / birth rules was accessible directly from the game UI.

Loved the lock unlock feature so you can zoom and move and the fact you can zoom in without deleting what you've been working on can, can I delete single cells? Without having to start all over, generation counter would be good,
