Conway's Game of Life: Part 2 (Gliders, Crashes & Still Life)

In this video the Glider configuration from J H Conway's Game of Life is introduced. The first four generations in the evolution of the Glider are examined in detail. As a result the terms 'generation', 'neighbour', 'life', 'death' and 'birth' are clearly illustrated along with the rules of the game. A few Glider Crashes are set up and the resulting debris explored with the various resulting Still Life catalogued. The Game of Life is an example of a Cellular Automaton. Cellular Automata are studied in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Theoretical Biology. The Game of Life was invented by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
