Smoothlife

Smoothlife is a generalization of Conway's game of life to a continuous domain (in time as well as space).

If you're interested in how it works, here are some resources that were helpful to me:

• an implementation in python
• an intimidating blog post
  • the scary part is just a weirdly difficult discretization method
• the original paper

To run this program, you'll need FFTW and SDL 2.0. Once you have the dependencies, just make && ./ca.

If you want to play around with different configurations, you should mess with the #defines at the top of main.c.
