hexalife
HexaLife is an interactive cellular automaton that extends Conway's Game of Life to a hexagonal grid with wealth-based survival mechanics. Players design custom rules where cells gain or lose wealth based on their neighbor count, controlling whether populations thrive or collapse. The web app includes real-time simulation controls, multiple visualization modes, and preset configurations for exploring different evolutionary dynamics.
HexaLife is an interactive cellular automaton that extends Conway's Game of Life to a hexagonal grid with wealth-based survival mechanics instead of simple live/dead states. The web application provides real-time simulation controls, multiple visualization modes, and customizable rules for exploring different evolutionary dynamics.
