John Conways Game of Life - StumbleUpon The Game The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a 'cellular automaton', and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a collection of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply. playgameoflife.com New developments of this page will continue on playgameoflife.com. playgameoflife.com The Simulation Figure from the XKCD RIP John Conway comic. The Rules For a space that is 'populated': Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by solitude. Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation. Each cell with two or three neighbors survives. For a space that is 'empty' or 'unpopulated' Each cell with three neighbors becomes populated. The Controls Choose a figure from the pull-down menu or make one yourself by clicking on the cells with a mouse. Development Edwin Martin <edwin@bitstorm.org>

Фото и рисунки, арт и креативная реклама How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (Kinda) I felt alienated from The Guardian’s graphic about stockpiles of nuclear weapons . Was there a better way to depict the data? UPDATE: Aug – I’m in the process of revising this diagram in light of all the comments (and flames!). Thanks all. I felt the use of abstract figures made most of the data meaningless. There’s a single way I relate to nuclear weapons. So, I thought of a better way to understand the data. However, the idea rapidly unravelled. I wasn’t expecting that. 10 years ago we had 32,512 nuclear weapons. Ah but we all live in cities now I tried to recover a eye-popping stat with another quick calc. 50% of us live in densely populated cities now. Nope. Unexpectedly, in making this image, the data forced me to change my mind. In this case, it exposed the myth in my head, scorched long ago into my childhood imagination. No doubt, nuclear weapons are crazy devices. As the data reveals, we simply don’t have enough of them.
