Game of Life

I read about the Game of Life in Stephen Hawking/Leonard Mlodinow's book THE GRAND DESIGN. It was developed by John Conway at Cambridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

It is a simulation that shows how from a simple system of rules, structure can emerge from chaos. I have created this implementation in Processing. I have included a number of parameters that can be set to control the simulation. I plan to work on other visualizations.

interactive collage

pressing 1-9 will add that number of images to collage. the position is determined by a combination mouse position and randomness. the size and opacity is random. " "e" and "r" decreases and increases average size of new images. q" and "w" decreases and increases average opacity for new images. "c" toggles b/w. "b" blurs. "x" posterizes. "m", "n" and "v" filter. "a", "s", "d", "f","g","h","j","k" and "l" change manner in which images blend. "t", "y", "u" and "i" change the image set. "0" resets. clicking mouse will grab a snippet of the collage - click again to place it
