Game of Life: Evolution

Select a color, then click or drag to create life. Use the controls to start, pause, randomize, see rules and change speed. See how colonies form, evolve and sustains. Watch genes blend, species born, mutate, and eventually die of old age.

Pause anytime to add new cells on the grid

Birth

A new cell is born into an empty space with exactly 3 neighbors.

Genetics

A new cell usually blends parent colors or inherits one directly.

Survival

A living cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives to the next generation.

Mutations

New cells have a 1% chance to mutate into a completely new random color.

Aging

A living cell can survive for a maximum of 100 generations before dying of old age.

Death

A cell dies from loneliness (< 2 neighbors) or overcrowding (> 3). Or of old age.
