Conway's Game Of Life

Conway's Game of Life is known almost half a century, and it is still popular. It has many fans, and in the past, there has been even a magazine about it's patterns and tricks.

What is it? Wikipedia article

Using property file, you can:

change colours
change rules
change texture
change speed

You build the field - wall or layer - of cells.
Right click cells (with HAND) to set them on - "live" cells (or off).
Right click your field with COAL to start the life simulation.
When the game is started, your life will develop. Some cells will die, some will born.

There are many known patterns with very complex behavior, which can be easily googled.

You can then clear your field using BONE - it will all turn white (dead).
Right clicking with coal again will pause the game.

It may look boring, but trust me, it really isn't.

For more info, look for articles about "Conway's game of Life".

Craft white wool to 4 life cells.
Reverse crafting is possible - 4 cells to one wool.
HAND = toggle cells
COAL = pause / play
BONE = erase

REQUIRES MODLOADER
Installation: into /mods folder, whole zip file.

I know, I have seen a few of these on youtube. But the circuitry is often big as a house for ONE cell. And you need at least 10x10 if you want to simulate something more complex than is Toad pulsar...

And the point of this mod is to give you something you can play with, where making redstone circuits may be fun for a handful of people, but the rest want just the entertainment.

Use google and you will get tons of new patterns, spaceships, pulsars and many others.

And the most funny thing: try to launch a long line of black cells. It will produce nice symmetrical pattern.

there are two modpacks of my mods, tweaks pack and redstone pack. I don't want to make many modpacks since I get money from adf.ly links, and if they were in one file, I would get the money only once per all mods.

Yes, almost exactly. I am using Tile Entities for cell blocks, and I have had to implement non-recursive flood filling for the coal and bone thing, but you are right, it really wasn't that hard if you know how to. However, for these "one-new-block" modders, it can look like a very hard work.
