Conway's Game Of "Life"

Summary

In this model, each dead cell will become alive if it has exactly one neighbor. Alive cells stay alive forever.

How to Run

To run the model interactively, run run.py in this directory:

    $ python run.py

Then open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8521/ and press run.

Files

• hex_snowflake/cell.py: Defines the behavior of an individual cell, which can be in two states: DEAD or ALIVE.
• hex_snowflake/model.py: Defines the model itself, initialized with one alive cell at the center.
• hex_snowflake/portrayal.py: Describes for the front end how to render a cell.
• hex_snowflake/server.py: Defines an interactive visualization.
• run.py: Launches the visualization
