Cellular Automata: Life from Simple Rules
A basic introduction to cellular automata!
In this video, I go over the fundamentals of cellular automata, including the specific ruleset for Conway's Game of Life. I also include a mini tutorial for a fast GPU-based implementation of Game of Life using Unity's Compute Shaders.
And yes, I’m aware that the singular form is “automaton” — I have no clue how I botched that in the script. :(
