App Store Description

Transform photos into living patterns. Explore 117 classic designs. Experience the legendary cellular automaton.

Conway's Game of Life Reimagined brings mathematical beauty to your fingertips with stunning visuals, powerful performance, and creative photo
transformation.

PHOTO TO LIFE

Turn any photo into evolving cellular art. Our engine analyzes brightness to create unique patterns - darker regions become alive cells, lighter
areas stay dormant. Watch portraits and landscapes transform into mesmerizing life forms following Conway's elegant rules.

117 CLASSIC PATTERNS

Discover the most famous patterns in Game of Life history:

- 11 Still Lifes: Stable forever (Beehive, Boat, Loaf)
- 26 Oscillators: Hypnotic cycles (Pulsar, Blinker, Pentadecathlon)
- 11 Spaceships: Travelers across space (Glider, Copperhead, Dragon)
- 8 Guns: Infinite glider generators (Gosper Gun, Simkin Gun)
- 14 Methuselahs: Tiny chaos makers (Acorn, Diehard, R-pentomino)
- 47 Special Patterns: Eaters, reflectors, and complex interactions

HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINE

- Multi-core processing for smooth 60fps rendering
- Optimized bit-packing supporting 150x150+ grids
- Real-time statistics tracking
- Adaptive performance scaling

CREATIVE TOOLS

- Drag-and-drop pattern placement
- Touch drawing on canvas
- Speed control (0.1-10 sec/generation)
- Save custom creations
- Import .rle files from community
- Auto-crop pattern saving

PERFECT FOR

- Puzzle enthusiasts seeking endless variety
- Math/CS students learning cellular automata
- Creative minds exploring generative art
- Anyone fascinated by emergent complexity

Four simple rules, infinite possibilities:

1. Live cells with 2-3 neighbors survive
2. Dead cells with 3 neighbors become alive
3. Other live cells die
4. Other dead cells stay dead

From these rules emerge gliders traveling infinitely, oscillators pulsing rhythmically, guns manufacturing spaceships, and chaos stabilizing
into order.
