Description

Brian's Brain is a cellular automata created by Brian Silverman. The automata evolves more chaotically than Conway's Game of Life but it tends to form wave fronts. These waves move horizontally and create new wave after colliding with each other. This has been likened to neuron transmitions and interactions, hence the name Brian's Brain.

States:

  • Alive (white)
  • Dying (blue)
  • Dead (black)

Rules:

  • If a cell is dead and has exactly 2 living neighbors it becomes a living cell.
  • If a cell is alive it changes to a dying state, which does not count as a living state.
  • If a cell is dying then it changes to a dead state.
