Game of life in AE
Would it be possible to re-create Conways ‘game of life’ in After Effects using expressions or even scripting, being able to define the rules and in effect the shapes that evolve would be the aim ..

I’ve been inspired by this music vid and in turn Conway’s Game of Life itself which is very intersting, I tried to replicated the style but found it was hugely time consuming….
thank you thank you

This looks more like simple (yet complicated) animation rather than a true rendering of Game of Life rules.
Game of Life emulators are all over the Net, you want to look for Flash and Java applications. Expand your search for “cellular automata” for mathematical and more realistic particle based simulations.
Are you familiar with the concept of competition in this game? One team accepts a design goal such as ending up with a bunny rabbit on the board and the other team tries to prevent it from happening by using a limited number of blocking bits and programmed foilers. Also appears in more than a few science fiction books that I’ve read but cannot recall at the moment.
You should be able to locate a Flash application or game that you can use for screen capturing. Then put a pixellation or Ball Action filter on it to reduce it to binary cells.
