About This Game

3D Life is a game of cellular automata that generate endless patterns from a few simple rules.

Cells live or die based on the number of live neighbors. Too many cells nearby, a cell is overcrowded. Too few, it is underpopulated. Empty cells come to life if they have a certain number of live neighbors.

From these rules evolve a multiplicity of forms that grow, blink, and glide through mathematical space. The behavior of each rule set is unique.

Use your stopwatch to control the flow of time: start and stop cell movement, slow down or speed up gameplay.

Use your flashlight to generate cells in three ways: randomly, frozen until discovered by the algorithm, or spaceships. Spaceships are cell patterns which move on their own, repeating after a number of generations. They can be created in any direction and orientation.

This game is VR-only for SteamVR-compatible headsets and motion controllers.
