| A video of Conway's Game of Life, emulated in Conway's Game of Life. Inspired by this video: www.youtube.com I made a similar video, but with the speed and scale varying smoothly over time, rather than in discrete jumps as the original video did. The life simulator used is Golly - golly.sourceforge.net which has a built-in script to generate these metapixel grids (select a pattern, and choose "metafier.py" from the scripts list). For more information about the metapixel pattern, see otcametapixel.blogspot.com The actual video is exported from Golly using a custom Python script: pastebin.com (since Golly built-in only supports rendering the view with a scale which is a power of 2, for performance reasons - this is not a particularly well-optimised or fast script to run). The audio track is a Shepard Tone: en.wikipedia.org This is also generated by a Python script: pastebin.com |
