Cyclife on a geodesic polyhedron feat. new edge highlights
Ғылым және технология
The earlier Life-like cellular automaton "cyclife" also works on an icosahedral geodesic sphere, using the same Conway-based rule. I seem to have hit some kind of a threshold here, as a lot of CAs either die out or fill the space quickly, but this one takes its time to bridge the gaps.
In the square/cube lattices with cubical cells, this CA tends to make relatively stable line patterns of cells with the maximum value, with zero-value cells in between. The patterns are not so obvious in other lattices with spherical cells, so I thought I'd highlight the max-value cells by showing their connecting edges. It turned out quite a bit more complex than expected, as the max-value cells also appear at growth sites. So besides the static structures, the new edge visuals also highlight the dynamic action.
The second part just shows the same system with the original visuals with no edge joints.

This would make a kickass screensaver. Ngl I'd use a screensaver for the first time in 15+ years if I could have this as one.
This makes me happy. Awesome work!
That's gorgeous!
Very Pretty! I am going to explore this idea of rendering automata on a sphere
i don't get how it maps onto a sphere so well but that's very cool

This is not the original Game of Life, it's a variant that runs natively on the geodesic polyhedron. So there's no mapping onto the sphere.

@@algoristosee, you assumed that i thought it was the game of life, which i didn't, but it's also bold of you to assume i know what a geodesic is lmao

@@dottedboxguy OK, let's try again. When you said "i don't get how it maps onto a sphere so well", you were assuming there's something non-spherical being mapped onto a sphere. There isn't, the system is done directly in the final shape. I've seen a lot of comments about Game of Life here, so I probably confused some of them with yours -- sorry about that.

@@algoristoyea i worded it weirdly, i do know these kinda CAs are a thing, i just never saw it represented this way and it sure is pretty cool edit : or more like i previously encountered this kind of CA, but projected onto a plane, and didn't realize it goes onto the surface of a sphere
How is this made?
