Σύνοψη

My project will be a version of the Game of Life developed for
mobiles. I t will start from scratch based on the rules of the original
Game of Life.
The Game of Life is a game devised by a famous
mathematician named John Conway. John Conway originally placed
an interest on a problem that another mathematician named John
von Neumann was working on.
This problem was based on an idea of a hypothetical machine
that could build copies of itself. Conway finally succeeded by
simplifying Neumann's ideas and combining them with his previous
experience with group theory and Neumann's ideas on selfreplicating.
The Game of Life consists of a universe where there are infinite
square cells and each cells can be either dead or alive.
Logically each cell has 8 neighbours with which it interacts
accordingly.
Some take the Game of Life as an allegory of human life.
Nevertheless Game of Life, although is not entirely a game, its
magnificent not only because of the allegory but because of the
wonderful motives it can "draw" in its Universe.
