3D Game of Life Simulator - Help
Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Horton Conway. It consists of a grid of cells that evolve over discrete time steps according to a set of simple rules based on the states of neighboring cells.
Controls
Left-click: Toggle cells between alive (green) and dead (gray).
Right-click: Place or remove barrier cells (red). Barrier cells act as walls and block interaction between cells.
CTRL + Click: Toggle all cells along the ray to access interior cells.
Rotate View: Click and drag the mouse.
Zoom: Use the mouse wheel.
Controls Panel
Grid Size X, Y, Z: Set the dimensions of the grid along each axis (between 1 and 25).
Visible Layers (Z-axis): Use the slider to hide or show layers along the Z-axis to access interior cells.
Speed: Adjust the simulation speed in generations per second.
Survival and Birth Rules: Select the number of neighbors required for cells to survive or be born.
Start, Stop, Reset: Control the simulation.
Help: Open this help window.
About Barrier Cells
Barrier cells are special cells that act as walls within the grid. They are not counted when calculating the number of alive neighbors and prevent interaction between cells across them. Use right-click to place or remove barrier cells.
